Mission
History of Media & Terrorism The entire country is aware of the events that occurred on Sept. 11,2001.
Many people are unaware of other terrorist attacks that have occurred against the United States
and throughout the world in the 20th century and beyond. . The goal of this section is to foster a better understanding of terrorist attacts and how the media covers them.TV Media & Pop Culture Popular culture and the American culture are closely related. Films, music, books, poetry, and fashion tap into what is occurring in American society. This was definitely the case after September 11th. The tragedies affected all aspects of pop culture. This section of Mediating Terrorism deals with American popular culture over the last 20 years, and the effect terrorism has had on it.
The World Trade Center As A Media Event Our purpose is to provide an examination of how the content we see on TV, hear on the radio, read in the newspaper and encounter on the internet affects how we understand the events of September 11th, 2001.
Global Perspectives in a Comparative Context An organized look at international media coverage of the events of September 11, 2001. This site is meant to encourage the visitor to compare the information presented and draw his or her own conclusions.
Theorizing Media and Terrorism The events of 9/11 in the United States were followed by a period of national mourning and analysis. The media, the academe, civic organizations were all part of this rush to both memorialize the victims and the saviors and in equal part to understand the nature of terrorism and its perpetrators. This part of the website has been organized to both further the task of analysis and reflection. Rather than assume that it is time for closure and for us to move onto to our daily tasks, it is important to place the acts of 9/11 within a body of journalistic, scholarly and academic work that will allow us to get a more contextual and critical understanding of the event specifically and of the links between media,terrorism and politics. In other words, while we may still suffer from the trauma of 9/11, the resources provided here provide some theoretical directions for us to pursue.
The articles, essays and studies that you will find links to in this section have been divided into some general categories for searching.
