Beyond 9/11: Terrorism and Media in a Mid-term Period View (1998--2005)

Paolo Campana

Global Crime, 2007, vol. 8, issue 4, 381-392

Abstract: By drawing upon the first results of an analysis carried out on the 1998--2005 period, this work tries to reconstruct the trends in terrorist attacks and their media coverage in seven international daily newspapers. Also the dynamics of media over/under-representation are investigated, as well as the existence of differentiated coverage related to the geopolitical distance/proximity of the country object of attack. Special attention is paid to an empirical analysis of the Iraqi case. The work opens with a short methodological discussion on the issue of terrorism measurement, from its operational definition to the choice of the database on which to carry out the analyses.
