MASS MEDIA AND TERRORISM
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 27, Issue 2
Abstract
The present essay looks into the effects of the 9/11 media event upon media consumers, approaching the attitudinal change from several theoretical or pragmatic perspectives: the socialcognitive one (drawing on Bandura, 2006; Bongar, 2006; Kellogg, 2007; Goldstein, 2007), the socialpolitical one (drawing on Post, 2007; Hoffman, 2007; Chomsky, 2002) and the US governmental one (Kean, 2007). This multiple perspective is meant to capture the civil society’s cognitive and behavioural responses so as to prevent selective and preferential media releases aimed at consumers, as well as to instruct consumers on information management when the content of this information management when the content of this information falls within the anti-social, terrorist field.
