'Serial' started the trend of true crime. Was that good or bad?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

'Serial' is arguably the original true crime podcast. It recently came back into the news when Adnan Syed, the man convicted of murdering of Hae Min Lee in the podcast's first season, was released from prison with his conviction overturned. If this podcast really helped correct a wrongful conviction, then it made a major positive impact. But a lot of true crime stories don't have such a great outcome. Sometimes, they end up drawing attention to the wrong places. Dr. Bess Rowen teaches a Gender, Performance, and True Crime class at Villanova University. She helps us examine the impact 'Serial' had, who benefits and who suffers from resurfacing these tragic stories, and whether or not the true crime trend can last.
