Terrorism now dominates the headlines of all the networks from New York to London, and Rome to Moscow and is spreading from Al Jazeera in Qatar to Islamabad, Riyadh, Baghdad, and Kabul. The contributors of this new work begin by focusing on how governments, security forces, and terrorist groups seek to manipulate the news, including the legal and normative issues of formal and informal government censorship and curbs on freedom of the press. The contributors compare coverage of 9/11 to coverage of other incidents of terrorist violence, including Israel-Palestine and Northern Ireland. They then focus upon how journalists construct the news and how the public responds to news coverage - including 'rallying-around-the-flag', public attention and comprehension of terrorist events, and the public's response to issues of civil liberties vs. security.

Local television newscasts around the country look alike and are
filled with crime, accidents, and disasters. Interviews with more
than 2,000 TV journalists around the country demonstrate that news
looks this way because of the ingrained belief that 'eye-ball
grabbers' are the only way to build an audience. This book
contradicts the conventional wisdom using empirical evidence drawn
from a five-year content analysis of local news in more than 154
stations in 50 markets around the country. The book shows that
'how' a story is reported is more important for building ratings
than what the story is about. Local TV does not have to 'bleed to
lead'. Instead local journalists can succeed by putting in the
effort to get good stories, finding and balancing sources, seeking
out experts, and making stories relevant to the local audience.
