Description

Creating Fear examines how news media and social control organisations strategically deploy fear to shape public perception, establishing what the author calls a 'discourse of fear' where danger and risk appear omnipresent. Through detailed case studies, the book reveals how specific institutions exploit fear construction for institutional benefit, resulting in measurable social consequences. The work analyses the manipulation of public empathy, documenting how modern society generates unprecedented numbers of 'victims' through media narratives. A central concern is how citizens increasingly defer to law enforcement and state-based formal control systems for protection, fundamentally altering the relationship between individuals and institutions. This academic examination of news media's role in constructing crisis narratives provides critical insight into contemporary social anxieties and the political economy of fear in modern democracies.
