EVERYDAY SENSATIONALISM IN VICTORIAN BRITAIN: THE ILLUSTRATED POLICE NEWS

S03EP03

SYNOPSIS

We take a deep look at the Victorian press and in particular, hone in on the wonder that was The Illustrated Police News. Most famous today for its coverage of Jack the Ripper, the paper covered all manner of Victorian crime, punishment, murder, suicide and cultural oddities. Aimed at the masses, it was sensationalist, scandalous and wildly popular, much to the chagrin of the established press.
