| Summary |
This paper examines the changing context for public reactions to terrorism in America, particularly the evolving role of the news media in shaping those reactions and the rising, powerful influence of social media. Orlando is considered as a case study for how government decisions, political rhetoric, and especially news and social media shape public reactions to terrorist attacks and ultimately build civic resilience to terrorism. Leaders in Orlando did many things right in a di cult, tragic, and chaotic situation, and their actions can serve as an example for other cities |
