metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article is an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of tabloidization of court proceedings’
  reports on gossip websites — websites whose constitutive features are, among others, the scandalization
  and dramatization of disseminated messages. Using media reports about the accusations
  and court case pending against Kevin Spacey, which were made available on TMZ.com
  (United States) and Pudelek.pl (Poland), an attempt was made to determine how media workers
  present crimes related to their judicial conduct and how such representations can affect the
  perception of justice by recipients. The base of considerations was the social constructivism
  and framing theory. As a result of research, it was discovered that: (1) gossip websites’ editorial
  teams use the interpretative frame of the cruel world to cover criminal matters, including the
  narratives of an absolutely evil attacker and innocent victim, which enables the creation of a
  dramatic, and at the same time extremely attractive to recipients, opposition; (2) crime-related
  texts on gossip websites are closer to commentaries and assessments of the presented crimes
  than to actual reporting on court proceedings; (3) typical editorial measures used to build
  tension in the gossip materials about court proceedings are to report only those stages of the
  proceedings that can be provided with emotional comments, constant recalling of negative
  information about the crime that arose before the trial, the use of flashy and unambiguously
  negative headlines, and reminders of the highest penalty for the described act; (4) geographical
  proximity of the described events or the represented media market do not affect the manner
  in which gossip websites cover court proceedings.
