Abstract
Near the end of a long, hot summer in 1g86, New York woke to a series of salacious headlines about the killing of an eighteen-year-old woman in Central Park. In no time at all, Jennifer Dawn Levin, the victim, and the circumstances of her death were being raked over the coals as the New York Post, then still owned by Rupert Murdoch, The Daily News, New York Newsday, and The New York Times competed for reader attention.
