| Innhold: | Abstract
The news media’s justification for the priority given to crime stories is usually formulated as representing a societal task and duty: police, prosecutors and the judicial branch of government must be scrutinized for the good of democracy. However, independent, critical investigations are rare in this area of journalism. The explanation for this may reflect the resources, time and legal knowledge that carefully-crafted crime journalism requires. Market-oriented values give other priorities. Journalists, like police investigators, often work under great time pres-sure; quick »results« are demanded. The media’s reliance on police sources is also high. In cases where both parties seem to have ‘tunnel vision’ concerning the case and its suspects, the media can – as several criminal cases in Scandina-via have shown – contribute to a miscarriage of justice.
