Description

Explore the powerful impact of media on public perception with Creating Fear: News and the Construction of Crisis. Published by Routledge, this book examines how news media and social control organizations use fear to shape a specific discourse. This constant awareness of lurking danger and risk changes how society functions. Through various case studies, the text illustrates how certain social institutions and organizations benefit from the construction of fear. You will learn about the social consequences of this phenomenon, including the manipulation of public empathy and the rise in the perceived number of victims in modern history. The book also addresses the troubling shift in how we seek security, noting the increasing role ceded to law enforcement and punishment. It examines why we turn more readily to the state and formal control to protect ourselves from perceived threats. This is an essential read for anyone interested in social problems, media influence, and the mechanics of social control.
