Communication and Terrorism: Public and Media Responses to 9/11 (The Hampton Press Communication Series: Journalism & Mass Communication) - Tapa blanda

Dozens of communication researchers responded to the tragedies of 9/11 by immediately designing and carrying out research projects. This volume compiles the best of those research efforts. Studies include diffusion of news of the attacks, the role of the Internet, tracking of media use and gratifications, television coverage of the crisis, the portrayal of the enemy in editorial cartoons, national studies of stress reactions, parents' perceptions of their children's fears, and the role of communication in coping with terror.
