No Way of Knowing: Crime, Urban Legends and the Internet (American Popular History and Culture (Routledge (Firm)).)

Examining "old media" treatment of crime legends: news reports, fictional film and television depictions, and "new media" interactive discussions: versions and discussions circulating in Internet newsgroups and via electronic mail lists, this text examines a social context vastly changed from the height of rumour research in the mid-20th century.
