TERROR POST 9 11 AND THE MEDIA - DAVID L ALTHEI...

Throughout the world  the mass media are responsible for shaping the form and content of
experiences. In this book  David L. Altheide examines how the mass media  including news and
popular culture  have cast terrorism  propaganda and social control post 9 11. Altheide shows
how fear works with terrorism to alter discourse  social meanings  and our sense of being in
the world. Emphasis is placed on the different institutional interventions and how these
particular stories become framed and inform the wider media narratives of terror. The author
argues that post 9 11 we are witnessing the emergence of new communication formats that not
only constitute counter-narratives  but also shape future communicative experience. The text is
suitable for scholars and students interested in the ongoing relationship between the media and
terror post 9 11.
