News Media and Religious Terrorism. a Vicious Circle?: Major Actors and Their Global Impact

This thesis analyzes the relationship between two of the most controversial actors of the 21st century, news media and religious terrorism. How they affect our lives, how they influence one another and how they connect on a global scale, are just a few questions I tried to answer to, looking back at some important events that changed the perception of terrorism worldwide and took news media to other dimensions. Nevertheless, this thesis builds a parallel between U. S./Western Europe news media channels and the Arabic ones, at the clash of worlds they represent.
