Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: More than five years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, terrorism still occupies a sizeable proportion of the nightly news. In 2006 alone, more than 700 news stories on terrorism aired on national network news, adding to the more than 4,300 stories related to terrorism that aired in the previous four years. To date, though, we know very little about how individual citizens make sense of and process stories about terrorism or how different types of terrorism stories influence opinion. Utilizing the 2000-2002-2004 NES panel as well as an original media experiment, I find that threatening, evocative terrorism stories significantly influence citizens’ foreign policy attitudes among citizens concerned about terrorism. For citizens concerned about future terrorism, the more they watched threatening, shocking news coverage, the more they wanted to spend on defense and the more supportive they were of the war in Iraq and President Bush. Democrats are moved more in the hawkish direction by sensationalistic news coverage than are Independents or Republicans, indicating the power of evocative news coverage to convince citizens to support policies they would not normally prefer. These findings indicate that the media’s attention to terrorism may ultimately damage the public’s ability to form opinions and also to hold political leaders accountable.
