MEDIA AND TERROR

One particular word seems to have gained a new importance in our vocabulary. Terrorism. Terror is about language. Terror is communication. As a mediated phenomenon, terrorism has gained so much attention that a new terminology has emerged: Super-terrorism [Nacos: 2002, 2], New terrorism [Laqueur:2003, 143], mega terror or hyper terror [Virilio: 2005] - all these terms signify a need for a new typology. Apparently, terrorism is not what it used to be.
