For better and for worse, TikTok—and the internet as a whole—has made it possible to turn criminal investigations into crowdsourcing initiatives at scale.
against a TikTokker who, aided by tarot cards and almost 116,000 followers, made a series of videos accusing the professor of both having a romantic relationship with one of the victims and being responsible for the students’ deaths; the suit states that the professor now fears for her life. You can see where this is heading.that brought new details to light. According to the affidavit, one of the victims’ roommates, identified as D.M.
Now that it’s no longer unusual for true-crime podcasts and Reddit users alike to mobilize resources and audiences to solve, do we have the capacity for tolerating the gradations of morass that may lead to potentially lifesaving—or, at least, justice-serving—spectacle? Moralizing over online sleuths and self-styled journalists is a self-defeating dilemma for the institutional media anyway, considering the industry’s historically tortured relationship with sensational stories and a subjective steerage of public opinion. The question of whether media outlets should give oxygen to the workaday Reddit theories or mega-viral videos presumes audiences wouldn’t have already found those sources themselves.

Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer on How This Season of ‘Truth Be Told’ is ‘Our Best’It isn’t every day you get to speak with an Oscar winner, but today is your lucky day. Octavia Spencer joined Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott on the latest episode to talk about her hit Apple TV+ series ‘Truth Be Told,’ where she keeps her Oscar, and so much more. She said playing Poppy Scoville-Parnell, a true-crime podcaster out to solve crimes on Truth Be Told (January 20 on Apple TV+), was always in the cards for Octavia Spencer. “I've had this affinity for true-crime and investigative journalism. So it was just a natural progression.” Now in its third season, Spencer says, it’s “a deep intense season, and it actually is our best season because it's tied to something meaningful and real.” Spencer is joined by Gabrielle Union, who she says “is such a brilliant comedic actress and she's coming into her own as a dramatic actress.” Their two characters must solve the case of a missing girl. For Spencer, what makes the true-crime genre so appealing is that “there's something about being an active member of the investigation as a viewing audience member, you are actively a part of the investigation.” In recent years Spencer has expanded her credits to include producing. “The question always comes up, what is the role you're destined to play, and at this age and stage of my life, I would say that it's definitely that of a producer. A person who generates work and creates opportunities not just for myself.” Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
