Description: Mass-Mediated Terrorism : The Central Role of the Media in Terrorism and Counterterrorism, Paperback by Nacos, Brigitte Lebens, ISBN 0742553809, ISBN-13 9780742553804, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Even more than money, publicity is the lifeblood of terrorism and the media therefore plays a central role in the calculus of terrorism and through its choices can serve to minimize or magnify terrorist violence. This is the central premise Nacos (political science, Columbia U.) works from as he assesses the media's coverage of terrorism and counter-terrorism, paying particular attention to coverage of the 9-11 attacks. Overall, he finds that media coverage of terrorism tends to be overly spectacular, serving to further the goals of the terrorists while simultaneously limiting the opportunities for policy debates. Conversely, counter-terrorism measures are chronically underreported. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
