The Role of Mass Media in Terrorism and Its Effect on Individuals

Nowadays terrorism is one of the biggest problems in the world. In particular, afterward the twin towers attack in the United States on September 11, 2001, this has become a bigger problem for most of the countries in the world. Following in time the 9/11 terrorist attack, many governments launched a war against global terrorism in different parts of the world. Even the community psychology, which is not threatened by global terrorism, is negatively affected by extremist groups’ coverage in media. Asian countries like Japan, Taiwan, and the Republic of Korea are the best examples of that. For this cause, in this research two linear regression are analyzed and Taiwanese newspaper text analyses are made. The main purpose and motivation of this research is to analyze the importance of media on terrorism and terrorist acts and how the media affects people’s thoughts and psychology.
