This book explores how both elite and non-elite actors frame
societal threats such as the refugee crisis and COVID-19 using both
digital and traditional media. It also explores ways in which the
framing of these issues as threatening can be challenged using
these platforms. People typically experience societal threats such
as war and terrorism through the media they consume, both on and
offline. Much of the research in this area to date focuses on
either how political and media elites present these issues to
citizens, or audience responses to these frames. This book takes a
different approach by focusing on how issues such as the refugee
crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic are both constructed and
deconstructed in an era of hybrid media. It draws on a range of
traditional and innovative research methodologies to explore how
these issues are framed as ‘threats’ within deeply mediatized
societies, ranging from content analysis of newspaper coverage of
the Macedonian name dispute in Greece to investigating
conspiratorial communities on YouTube using Systemic Functional
Linguistics. In doing so, this book enriches our understanding of
not only how civil and uncivil actors frame these issues, but also
their impact on societal resilience towards future crises.
(De)constructing Societal Threats During Times of Deep
Mediatization will be a key resource for academics, researchers,
and advanced students of Communication Studies, Media Studies,
Journalism, Cultural Studies, Research Methods, Sociology and
Politics. The chapters included in this book were originally
published as a special issue of The Communication Review.
