Select a specific terrorist event, program, or attack and explain the role the media played in the event from the terrorist perspective:
What role did the media play in publicizing the terrorist organization's message?
What forms of media did the terrorist organization use to transmit their message?
Were the uses of media ethical (for instance how were the ISIS/ISIL beheadings addressed)?
Who were the intended recipients of the message?
Are there other tools the terrorist organization could use to garner additional media attention to their cause?
