| Details: | Maine’s fascination with true crime through history from early American printing through the dawn of photojournalism. Explore media sensationalism, public consumption, and the social impact of high-profile Maine crimes. Notorious examines the differences and commonalties across sensationalized crimes, the ways in which they captured the public's imagination, and what contemporary media coverage tells us about perception and societal norms. Through case study vignettes from over two and half centuries of Maine history visitors will explore different angles and perspectives of true crime reporting and media consumption—ranging from responsible public information and community crime solving, to perpetuating stereotypes and voyeuristic interest. Visitors will reflect on what drives true crime consumption—throughout history and today.
