Mass-Mediated Terrorism by Brigitte Nacos
The second edition of the award-winning Mass-Mediated Terrorism features a new chapter on public opinion and is updated with analyses of the Iraq war, increasing terrorist attacks abroad, and subsequent counterterrorism measures. It also includes new information on Al-Jazeera and the use of the Internet in terrorist efforts. Using U.S. cases and incidents abroad, Brigitte Nacos explores the use of political violence for the sake of publicity, media coverage of counterterrorism policies and its effect on political decision making, and the impact of new media. Mass-Mediated Terrorism offers a blueprint both for effective public information and media relations during terrorism crises as well as for ethical news coverage of major terrorism incidents.
It is a disturbing truth that a detailed analysis of the terrorism phenomenon, first published in 2002, requires major updates a scant five years laterThe new challenges reported by Brigitte Nacos are huge. New media have enhanced the power of terrorists to instill fear and recruit followers. To cope with the evolving dangers, citizens and their leaders need to be aware of these developments. Mass-Mediated Terrorism provides the necessary insights. -- Doris A. Graber, University of Illinois, Chicago; author, Mass Media and American Politics
Brigitte L. Nacos is adjunct professor of political science at Columbia University.
