Abstract

On November 22, 2022, Dr. Brigitte Nacos, Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Columbia University, presented Intersections of Mass Media, Terrorism, and Policy Response: How Mass Mediated Representations of Terrorism May Influence Counterterrorist Policies. The presentation was followed by a question-and-answer period with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives. The key points discussed were how the representation of terrorist attacks in mass media can influence public opinion and policy decisions. Several case studies were presented to illustrate this intersection. Received: 2022-12-20Revised: 2022-12-29
