With all new and expanded chapters, the third edition provides an
in-depth look at how terrorists exploit mass media to get
attention, spread fear and anxiety among the targets of this sort
of violence, and threaten further attacks. The traditional news
media's appetite for shocking, sensational, and tragic stories has
always resulted in over-coverage of terrorist events and threats.
But today, social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube,
allow terrorists to communicate directly with huge audiences around
the globe spreading their propaganda, radicalizing and recruiting
followers, and providing know-how to "lone wolves." On the other
hand, governments in democracies, too, utilize mass media to enlist
public support for counterterrorist measures. This volume will help
readers to understand the centrality of media considerations in
both terrorism and counterterrorism.
