IGI Global Interviews Mahmoud Eid, Author of "Exchanging Terrorism Oxygen for Media Airwaves: The Age of Terroredia"

"The advancement of today's media and communication technologies has given terrorism more power than ever. The role of communication in general and the media in particular is fundamental in the processes of crisis management, conflict resolution, problem-solving, and so on. But this role is a double-edged sword, as it can help de-escalate a severe stress situation as much as it can also exacerbate it," says Dr. Mahmoud Eid, the IGI editor and author of the book Exchanging Terrorism Oxygen for Media Airwaves: The Age of Terroredia.

Terroredia is a term coined by Dr. Eid to explain the phenomenal, yet under-researched relationship between terrorists and media professionals in which acts of terrorism and media coverage are exchanged, influenced, and fueled by one another.
