Özet:

There are several thoughts upon the relationship between media and terror. Most apparent discussions seem to focus on ideas that media supports terrorism in reaching its aims, terrorist organizations design their actions in certain ways which enable media coverage and there are two significant categories for classifying terrorist attacks, “media centered terrorist actions” and “terrorist actions that are not media centered”. Additionally, even though the traditional media and its gatekeepers evaluate terrorist attacks from the aspect of “news value”, it is clear that new media lacks such evaluation criteria and it is also important that terrorists create their own media by facilitating new communication technologies to reach their internal and external publics and that traditional media refers to these media as news sources from time to time. The relationship between the public, public officers and media about terrorism news on media is also another important topic. The ways in which a balance between news and security constituted are also important for both communication and security experts.
