This book offers an East-West comparative analysis of mediatised terrorism. This is the first country-specific analysis of the mediatisation of terrorism, with Pakistan and Australia representing the two worlds, respectively. Caught up in the ‘9/11 effect’, Australia is known for its anti-terror ‘hyper-legislation’, despite the implausible nature of the threat. In contrast, Pakistan is plagued by terrorism, yet the military establishment favours a duplicitous policy of fighting militant groups selectively. To understand how the two diverse cultural sites, with their very different experiences of terrorism, make sense of this unpredictable threat, the book uses Beck’s World Risk Society theory as a conceptual framework to examine the production and construction of news narratives around the risk of terrorism in both countries through textual analysis of local news stories and in-depth interviews with Australian and Pakistani journalists. Narratives about ‘global terrorism’ are mostly ‘Western’, with fear of its impact on ‘Western’ democracy and civilisation. This book aims to fill the gap and present a nuanced understanding of global terrorism by examining the characteristics of the phenomenon in a Western as well as an Eastern location and the ways in which the risk of terrorism is being played out in the two worlds. This book will be of much interest to students of critical terrorism studies, media studies, Asia-Pacific politics, and International Relations.

We live in times that generate diverse conflicts; we also live in times when conflicts are increasingly played out and performed in the media. Mediatized Conflict explores the powered dynamics, contested representations and consequences of media conflict reporting. It examines how the media today do not simply report or represent diverse situations of conflict, but actively 'enact' and 'perform' them. This important book brings together the latest research findings and theoretical discussions to develop an encompassing, multidimensional and sophisticated understanding of the social complexities, political dynamics and cultural forms of mediatized conflicts in the world today. Case studies include: Anti-war protests and anti-globalization demonstrations Mediatized public crises centering on issues of 'race' and racism War journalism and peace journalism Risk society and the environment The politics of outrage and terror spectacle post 9/11 Identity politics and cultural recognition This is essential reading for Media Studies students and all those interested in understanding how, why, and with what impacts media report on diverse conflicts in the world today.

This book examines the circulation and effects of radical discourse by analysing the role of mass media coverage in promoting or hindering radicalisation and acts of political violence. There is a new environment of conflict in the post-9/11 age, in which there appears to be emerging threats to security and stability in the shape of individuals and groups holding or espousing radical views about religion, ideology, often represented in the media as oppositional to Western values. This book asks what, if anything is new about these radicalising discourses, how and why they relate to political acts of violence and terror, and what the role of the mass media is in promoting or hindering them. This includes exploring how the acts themselves and explanations for them on the web are picked up and represented in mainstream television news media or Big Media, through the journalistic and editorial uses of words, phrases, graphics, images, and videos. It analyses how interpretations of the term 'radicalisation' are shaped by news representations through investigating audience responses, understandings and misunderstandings. Transnational in scope, this book seeks to contribute to an understanding of the connectivity and relationships that make up the new media ecology, especially those that appear to transcend the local and the global, accelerate the dissemination of radicalising discourses, and amplify media/public fears of political violence. This book will be of interest to students of security studies, media studies, terrorism studies, political science and sociology.

This dissertation studies the circulation of transnational mobile media accounts of terror attacks in order to examine the intersection of violence, liberalism, anti-Muslim racism, and authoritarianism as it is transformed in the data-driven political economy of communication. The dissertation's central question asks: how is mediatized terrorism encountered, made sense of, and responded to by mobile audiences in datafied media? To answer, I use a new method for digital observation that collects screenshots from participants' mobile devices every five seconds for longitudinal studies. Through observation of U.S. mobile media users' reception of a wave of Daesh-linked terror attacks in Europe and North Africa in the spring of 2017, I identify four mediatized rituals responding to these attacks. One ritual, specific to far-right ecosystems, assimilates attacks and unrelated social conflict into an imagined future of what liberal pluralism portends, creating the possibility for offline action stoking cycles of violence. The other observed responses constitute a limited suite of individualized responses that are habituated by the data-driven political economy of mobile media. These findings contrast with prominent critiques of social media (e.g., polarization) by highlighting the distinct threat posed by ritual action in far-right mobile media. This analysis also adds nuance to disinformation frameworks that abstract users' construction of reality from their mediatized social contexts and cultural practices. The conclusion proposes developing a decolonial global media technology ethics based on these findings that mobilizes media against persistent orientalism and far-right authoritarianism in the global political landscape emerging under datafication.

Mass-Mediated Terrorism, Second Edition, an in-depth look at terrorism, political violence, and mass media, shows how terrorists exploit global media networks and information highways to carry news of their violence along with "propaganda of the deed." To what extent is the media advancing or obstructing the propaganda and policy goals of terrorists and their targets? Has the Internet strengthened the hands of terrorists to organize, recruit, and spread propaganda? How have targets of terrorism used the media to manipulate public opinion and advance their own agendas? From U.S. cases to incidents abroad, this award-winning book explores the use of political violence for the sake of publicity, media coverage of counterterrorism policies and its affect on political decision making, and the impact of new media. This revised second edition, which includes a new chapter on public opinion, is updated with analysis of the Iraq war, increasing terrorist attacks abroad, and subsequent counterterrorism measures. It also contains new information on the Arab satellite network Al-Jazeera and the use of the Internet in terrorist efforts. 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.

We cannot truly understand - let alone counter - terrorism in the 21st century unless we also understand the processes of communication that underpin it. This book challenges what we know about terrorism, showing that current approaches are inadequate and outdated, and develops a new communication model to understand terrorism in the media age.

The advent of the twenty-first century was marked by a succession of conflicts and catastrophes that demanded unrestrained journalism. Hoskins and O'Loughlin demonstrate that television, tarnished by its economy of liveness and its impositions of immediacy, and brevity, fails to deliver critical and consistent expositions of our conflicting times.

Abstract: Our daily lives are mediated in a proliferation of influence from media organisations and technology (Livingstone, 2009). This mediatisation illustrates the need for an analysis that extends beyond merely considering the construction of the 'Other'. The Islamic State's narrative, I argue, exemplifies this. In a background of destabilisation incited by the 2003 Iraq War and the ongoing crisis in Syria, the Islamic State emerges through the atrocities of its territorial gains to attempt legitimisation in the digital mediascape. Throughout this dissertation, I examine the discursive manipulation (Van Dijk, 2006) that structures the project identity (Castells, 2004) of the Islamic State. Examining Dabiq, the official magazine of the Islamic State, I follow the utterances of prominent world leaders and terrorism experts directly quoted in the Islamic State's column, 'In the Words of the Enemy'. I consider these direct quotations as part of an exploitation of Bourdieu's (1989) field of power, enhancing the attempted legitimisation of the Islamic State. I then establish how the column itself becomes capital, re-quoted by politicians featured as 'enemies', disseminating the Islamic State's self-claimed legitimacy into a broader mediascape.
