Did media coverage contribute to Americans' tendency to favor
national security over civil liberties following the 9/11 attacks?
How did news framing of terrorist threats support the expanding
surveillance state revealed by Edward Snowden? Douglas M. McLeod
and Dhavan V. Shah explore the power of news coverage to render
targeted groups suspicious and to spur support for government
surveillance. They argue that the tendency of journalists to frame
stories around individual targets of surveillance - personifying
the domestic threat - shapes citizens' judgments about tolerance
and participation, leading them to limit the civil liberties of a
range of groups under scrutiny and to support 'Big Brother'.
