'... 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... In particular, it provides fodder for the argument that television can itself be hijacked as a weapon of terror as television news increasingly mediatizes events that take place in today's world.' - Adam Hodges, Stanford University

'...a welcome addition to previous works which had tended to focus on security from direct violence only, and how it has been framed in the media. The volume will have equal appeal to students and researchers of media/communication studies, international relations, critical discourse analysis and multimodal analysis.' - Discourse & Communcation
