Crime Story seeks to highlight thematic, character-driven work that explores the functions (and dysfunctions) of the criminal legal process. Pieces for Crime Story — regardless of form — are first and foremost concerned with examining how the idea of ‘justice’ shapes the narratives we see, hear, and experience and how narratives can shape what is considered to be ‘just.’ At Crime Story, character, emotional engagement, and visceral engagement are paramount in the work we put out into the world. As a digital forum where criminal justice and storytelling meet, Crime Story Media aims to appeal to true crime fans who crave material that is engaging and entertaining while also smart and serious-minded.
