Global Terrorism and New Media carefully examines the content of
terrorist websites and extremist television programming to provide
a comprehensive look at how terrorist groups use new media
today.
Based partly on a content analysis of discussion boards and
forums, the authors share their findings on how terrorism 1.0 is
migrating to 2.0 where the interactive nature of new media is used
to build virtual organization and community. Although the creative
use of social networking tools such as Facebook may advance the
reach of terrorist groups, the impact of their use of new media
remains uncertain. The book pays particular attention to terrorist
media efforts directed at women and children, which are evidence of
the long-term strategy that some terrorist organizations have
adopted, and the relationship between terrorists? media presence
and actual terrorist activity. This volume also looks at the future
of terrorism online and analyzes lessons learned from
counterterrorism strategies.
This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism
studies, media and communication studies, security studies and
political science.
