Covering the Body - The Kennedy Assassination, the Media, and the Shaping of Collective Memory

Zelizer offers a powerful and provocative reassessment of the media's role in shaping our collective memory of the assassination. Through incisive analyses of the many subsequent accounts and investigations, including the movie JFK, she shows how the media downplayed the shortcomings in their coverage and used the assassination story to promote themselves as cultural authorities.
