Terrorism and the media

How do the researchers, the terrorists, the government, the press, the public, and the victims view and use the media? Who manipulates whom? For the first time one volume contains the range of significant perspectives on the relationship of insurgent terrorism and the media. Based on original data gathered from terrorists' spokespersons and writings, questionnaires from broadcasters and editors, and the experience of reporters, Terrorism and the Media also provides a comprehensive analysis of opinion polls and a definitive categorization and assessment of the literature on terrorism. Highly regarded for their previous work in this area, the contributors analyze key issues such as freedom of the press, codes of ethics, intimidation, victimization, and censorship.
