Summary/Abstract: Over time, it has been found that terrorist attacks bring to the fore the two entities that obtain immediate benefits only from the mere presence of the other: terrorist organizations and the media. Even if both the media and terrorist organizations obtain certain benefits from terrorist attacks (audience, respectively advertising), they are not the only beneficiaries. In some situations, governments may speculate on this type of violence by exacerbating the terrorist threat and stepping up security measures, which often involve restricting rights and freedoms or diverting public attention from social and economic issues.
