Framing terrorism by media: the inevitable coactions.

Abstract

The media play an important role in the development of terrorist activities and although the media have been used in different ways to cover terrorism-related activities, it is not clear why and how the means are used to frame terrorism. The article evaluates the media psyche on the representation of terrorism. The current study has carried out a non-systematic narrative review of the existing literature on the media psyche and terrorism. The media can positively frame terrorism to raise awareness against terrorism and at the same time they can promote it negatively by spreading violence among the public to project content related to terrorism.
