How wrong can we be when we're sure we know? Very wrong - as the Chamberlain Case should always remind us. Belinda Middleweek investigates the media's and opinion leaders' highly excited treatment of Azaria Chamberlain's disappearance, drawing on interviews with journalists; analysis of television, radio and newspaper archives; and never-before-published activist pamphlets and newsletters. She situates the Chamberlain Case in contemporary media debates about #Megxit, trolling, Insta-celebrity and hashtag activism. Are the media and quick-on-the-draw commentators today any less feral or indulgent? You be the judge.
