Product Description 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. | ||

eye open for the use of media by terrorist well writen & gives a comperhansive idea about the history & now days of the reletionship between the media & the terror. it's not the best but it complete your knowledge about the subject. i enjoyed it very much. | ||
Definately worth reading This book brings into focus how the media is being used by radicals and what needs to be done by those defending America to use the media to counter the successful use of the media by radicals and their supporters. | ||
shallow, misleading and blatently biased This book redefines the term shallow with every page you read. It gives a ridiculous definition for terrorism that conveniently excludes acts of terror perpetrated by states. Somehow, only "Islamic" and "leftist" groups are called terrorist, with the unavoidable exception of the Oklahoma bombers. The book is riddled with misconceptions, false assumptions and non sequitur conclusions. It just offends your intelligence... not worth your time or money. | ||
