Arab media and the politics of terrorism
This book covers Arab news media and terrorism in the post 9/11 period and the rise of the Islamic State. The volume investigates, among other themes, the construction of terrorism news in the Arab world, and seeks to understand how both traditional and "new" media have covered terrorism, the legal and political infrastructure influencing regional media's coverage of terrorism, and other institutional considerations driving the coverage of terrorism violence. I argue that a complex history of post-colonial struggles, entrenched authoritarianism, religion and Islam, geographical proximity, globalization, and professionalization of news and technology have shaped Arab news cultures and reporting sensibilities driving terrorism coverage. I propose what I have described as the "Terrorism Media Interaction" model to analyze and explain the complicated relationship between the Arab media and terrorism, and how the region's media organization and professional journalists often become the story, instead of merely covering terrorism.
