Summary: Analysis of the curiously symbiotic relationship that exists between terrorists and the mass media. Shows how terrorists have exploited the media to maximise the impact of their actions, and also shows how the media have all too often been more than willing to provide the oxygen of publicity to acts of terrorism. Considers the impact of "reality television" and draws parallels with real-time 24 hour news coverage e.g. of Abu Sayaf kidnappings in Southern Philippines. Discusses the impact of the global communications revolution especially the internet with chat rooms, e-mail and web-sites. Concludes by asking how governments can respond and move the media balance away from the terrorists.
