恐怖主義與媒體：檢視美國反恐戰爭、伊斯蘭恐慌與半島電視台

Terrorism and the Press: A Study of the War on Terrorism, Islamophobia, and Al Jazeera

本論文以國內極少關注的恐怖主義與媒體為討論主軸，並述及恐怖主義報導中，新聞媒體該有的報導角色。本論文以身處中東的半島電視台為研究焦點，採文獻檢視與深度訪談法，討論半島電視台如何報導911 與恐怖主義。研究發現，阿拉伯世界和西方社會對恐怖份子有截然不同的認定標準；「半島」等阿拉伯記者不但要報導恐怖主義，還要面對恐怖主義的威脅。本論文並認為，因恐怖主義而起的伊斯蘭恐慌，更值得重視。

This paper focuses on the subject of terrorism neglected in Taiwan and discusses the role of news media in reporting terrorism. Based on a literature review and in-depth interview, this research looks to restore the fact of reporting on 911 and terrorism from Al Jazeera and surveys the intense relationship with U.S. This paper argues to rethink Islamophobia and terrorism by exploring the different definitions of terrorism between the West and Middle East. Arab journalists need to report on terrorism and face the danger from it.
