Terrorisme en de media
- Els Volders
Abstract
This article tries to put the controversial relationship between media coverage and the success of terrorism in perspective. According to most scientists the media are powerless instruments that are either used by the terrorists to create what they call ‘a theater of terror’, or by the authorities to create a powerful climate of vengeance. But if one takes other factors into account, like the influence of the public and the victims, or the ignorance of some journalists on the subject, there does not seem to be a universal harmony between media, terrorists and/or the authorities.
