In 'The Journalist and the Murderer', Janet Malcolm analyzes the complex relationship between the journalist and their subject, using as an example the litigation between journalist Joe McGinniss and Jeffrey MacDonald, a doctor accused of murder. Malcolm questions journalistic ethics and the pursuit of truth, exploring the betrayal and manipulation inherent in the profession. This book examines the morality of journalism and its impact on the lives of the people involved.
Janet Clara Malcolm was an American writer, staff journalist at The New Yorker magazine, and collagist who fled antisemitic persecution in Nazi-occupied Prague. She was the author of Psychoanalysis: The Impossible Profession (1981), In the Freud Archives (1984), and The Journalist and the Murderer (1990). Malcolm wrote frequently about psychoanalysis and explored the relationship between journalist and subject. She was known for her prose style and for polarizing criticism of her profession, especially in her most contentious work, The Journalist and the Murderer, which has become a staple of journalism-school curricula.
