Media and Terrorism

After explaining the concept of framing and giving examples of it during Media Framing,  Dr. Stephen Reese focused on news framing of terrorism and wars during MDLAB 2015.

Dr. Reese discussed how terrorist groups do not mind that the media covers their news and that sometimes they purposely carry out big operations in order to attract the media. He also urged the audience to think about media outlets and social networks which we receive news and how they work.

Dr. Stephen Reese is a professor of Journalism at the College of Communication in University of Austin Texas.
