Media Images Of Terrorism

[icernet-admin at listserv.cddc.vt.edu]

THE picture, images, faces and religious identity given to terrorism by the 
US government and the western media have been completely internalised by 
our mainstream media. One can understand why the Sangh Parivar and its 
sympathisers should project the deteriorating relationships between 
different religious communities in this country, to which they have 
themselves contributed so crucially, as reflections of a civilisational 
divide; but our mainstream media as well works with this notion all the 
time. That these images and framework are global has contributed in no 
small measure to their success and effectivity.
