The advent of the twenty-first century was marked by a succession of conflicts and catastrophes that demanded unrestrained journalism.

'... the strength of this book lies in its ability to communicate important ideas from media studies to a broad audience of scholars interested in media discourse... Television and Terror effectively describes how television news, through the mediatization of events, works to constitute the social reality in which we live...
