The social outreach of the media and informative communication channels have extensively expanded from the rudimentary, yet revolutionary contributions initiated by the printing press. Although public access to information has been dramatically facilitated for the public, this has also led various groups to take advantage of this platform to disperse their messages to a broader audience in a short amount of time. Discuss the complex relationship the media holds when it comes to broadcasting events related to terrorist acts or organizations. Suppose the media’s purpose is to effectively and transparently report on the subject of terrorism. Can it be argued that such a task be achieved in a strictly informative manner without the risk of propagating their harmful causes in the terrorists’ favour, or is such a combination destined to be blurred?
