Jack The Ripper case - The Media?

An illustration of the murder place

As I was exposed with Jack The Ripper case in my class which has been conducted by my Critical Literacy lecturer, Sir Mark, I began to think that the case is something that require "out-of-the-box" thinking. From Critical Literacy study guide book, there are a few name with certain reason why they are accused for the murder of the canonical five Ripper's victim. They were accused mostly based on skill, job, past experience, and also alibi. But what I fear is that, the killer doesn't certainly have to be one person and also it should not only those listed earlier.

The "Dear Boss" letter

In my thoughts, the newspaper is the one that invented "Jack The Ripper" so that they can boost their sales. To be precise, it's a Star newspaper. That newspaper is the newspaper that give appearance of Jack the Ripper in their publication which launched just before the murders began. The journalist from The Star said that the reason why can do such early appearance is because they received a letter from "Jack the Ripper" himself earlier one day. However, there are certain individual that expert enough, has recognized that the handwriting of the letter was belong to one of the journalist in The Star. Weird enough? Right.

The reason why I said that the murder was not done by a single person is because the victim are merely related and only 3 victim has the same exact way of getting murdered. Other than that, it's different. If those that read about the case would know that there are a few blood written initial usually appear beside the victims. If based on my experience, doing things like that will arouse the interest of people to know what exactly is happening, which in the end give lots of profit to the media. The authentic way killing also add another reason why someone is going to buy a newspaper just get updated, because, IT IS REALLY RARE for someone to kill that far nor that detail. If i'm just a normal lady living nearby the neighborhood, getting updated about the case so that I can be aware of what might be coming ahead is certainly a must.

If you still think the killer is still one of the person listed by books and website, think again my dear friend. Thinking wider is the special ingredient for one to be wiser.
