The Journalist and the Murderer

The Journalist and the Murderer

by IanJack (Introduction), JanetMalcolm (Author)

Synopsis

Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what he does is morally indefensible. Janet Malcolm begins this book with the words above, which have become famous (and infamous), and then sets out to demonstrate the charge with the story of the lawsuit between Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, and Joe McGinniss, the author of a book about the crime.
