Abstract

In 2016, two films focusing on the O. J. Simpson case were released: O.J.:Made in America and American Crime Story: The People V O.J. Simpson. Although there are many differences in narrative strategies and positions, both of them focus on the core event of the O. J. Simpson case and discuss the influence of the news media on the trial. At the same time, as a product of the media, these two works also have an impact on the audience.Therefore, in this sense, they actually contain a dual media effect.This study attempts to explore the similarities and changes in the influence of the media on racial public opinion in different social environments 20 years ago and 20 years later, and at the same time leads to the strategic application of "New Racism" in American films and TV plays.
