Crimecraft: Journalists, police, and news publics in an Argentine town

Abstract: Crime narratives emerge from a collaborative process that involves diverse social groups across different locales. This diffused production of stories is captured by the concept of crimecraft, which helps illuminate the relationship among news media, organized crime, and police violence in postdictatorship Argentina. There, news makers must creatively maneuver between official reports and public secrets by shifting the story's authorship from themselves to their audiences. They do this with online news forums,… Show more

“…El crimen en las noticias es un objeto contencioso que se modula en encuentros y negociaciones entre los individuos e instituciones que trabajan juntos para traducir hechos en explicaciones autorizadas y semióticamente orientadas, a través de las que un suceso en particular es convertido en noticia. A decir de Jusionyte (2015), la producción de noticias conlleva un tipo particular de trabajo consistente en la manipulación de signos y significados que la autora aprehende con el término crimecraft (manufacturación discursiva del crimen). El concepto es útil para estudiar el trabajo de composición narrativa de las noticias realizado por los periodistas a partir de la fuente policial.…”

“…The adoption of “laws” or “codes” of silence (Jusionyte, 2016; Taussig, 2003; Uribe, 2004) is a common feature of settings characterized by the participation of state actors in extralegal violence and criminal activities, the pervasive presence of organized crime, and the exercise of terror. Silence and secrecy can persist long after the threat of violence or retaliation has passed, thus demonstrating the penetrating power of fear to discipline and terrorize (González, 2011; Green, 1994; Kernaghan, 2009).…”

“…Writing about the construction of crime stories in Argentina, Ieva Jusionyte has underscored “the multiplicity of voices involved in negotiating them” (2016, 453). Amahl Bishara (2012) makes a similar point about news production with the concept of “accumulated authorship,” which draws attention to the myriad layers of interpretation and authorial input that are hidden by the use of a single byline for a news article.…”

“…For instance, in 2016, authors used care (6) to index varying topics, from rituals of elderly care in Thailand (Aulino ), to kinship ideology in domestic violence counseling in India (Kowalski ), to sex work in Japan (G. Koch ), although with labor and precarity among its keywords, the latter article does fit the economy and neoliberalism cluster. Likewise, media (7 in 2016; 4 in 2017) refers to mass media as well as digital and popular media in very different contexts, indexing topics that may or may not fit the main themes (Ball and Nozawa ; Dent ; Fisher ; Gray ; Holmes 2016; Jusionyte ; N. Evans ; Shipley ; Stankiewicz ). Other frequently recurring words in 2016 include ethnography (6), food (5), gender (5), kinship (5), performance (5), violence (5), anthropology (4), love (4), and NGOs (4); of these, only gender reappears in each of the Table columns for the following three years, but it is surpassed by anthropology in the final count shown in Table , discussed below.…”
