How Media Helped Create a Cultural Phenomenon
Why did the 1970s–1990s produce so many infamous serial killers — or did they?
In this fascinating presentation, author Paul Gambino explores how the rise of mass media, 24-hour news and sensationalised crime reporting transformed murderers into cultural icons.
Discover how figures such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Richard Ramirez became household names, and how this media phenomenon helped fuel today's thriving market for true-crime artefacts.
Following the lecture, there will be a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask Paul your own questions!
✍️ Paul will also be signing copies of his book, Killer Collections.
