Banet-Weiser and Higgins (both, Annenberg School for Communications) take as the starting point of Believability the notion that sexual violence has never been and will never be a question of the truth. Rather, they assert, it is has been and continues to be a question of the economy of believability, which is contextual: Who is the teller? Who is the accused? What are their identities? and What is the historical context? To interrogate the concept of the economy of believability in the media, the authors analyze several television shows, among them the mini-series Unbelievable and the program The Morning Show, and some public cases, including Amber Heard's defamation case against Johnny Depp, the trial of R. Kelly, and the rape of Chanel Milller. The analysis is carefully crafted and apt. Believability: Sexual Violence, Media, and the Politics of Doubt is a must read, particularly for those in fields calling for studying and thinking about sexual violence.Summing Up: Essential. All readers.
