In her article, Jessica McBirney focuses on the approach and effect that media coverage had on the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan Scandal. Instead of focusing on whether or not Harding was guilty, or presenting the case as evidence of athletes' ambition, McBirney highlights the public persona that had been created by media for the rival skaters and how the attack was inserted into that narrative and solidified it.
