The Impact of Media on Terrorism

De Facto Allies in Magnifying Unwarranted Impact?

2009-06-02 11:18

Abstract

Some eminent writers and scholars argue that too often the media helps promote terrorists' agenda. Others, however, have a different opinion. I tend to go with the former, and in this short Paper, will show how terrorism can be seen from at least two perspectives, those of the victim and the perpetrator. Using three examples, I will prove that the media would not mind terrorist acts coming up on their own on the agenda, however distasteful and disagreeable they may seem. Terrorists cannot thrive without the media, and I will bring out the obvious: The media suits the interests of both parties. 

         Keywords: terrorism, media, perspectives, casualties, infidels, television ratings

        The horrific events of 9/11 brought terrorism centre stage. Terrorism had existed well before that date, but remained largely underplayed, till Uncle Sam got bearded in his own den for the first time since their war of independence way back in 1875-83. Over 99% of the American people have no idea of the ravages of war and what it can do to a targeted nation. Without attempting to add to the plethora of definitions of terrorism, let me just say that there is a fundamental difference in the way it is seen, related purely to perspective. The victim and the perpetrator portray an incident affecting them quite differently.

         For example, US media might say, “Terrorists detonated a bomb near the camp of the U.S. peacekeeping forces, causing numerous U.S. military casualties.” Arab media would report it as: “Freedom fighters detonated a bomb near the base of the crusaders. The tremendous blast killed and severely injured many infidels.”

        A free press is a mandate in a democracy. If the content available was not salutary, the media would still report it. Terrorism uses this mandate to further its own aim by spreading fear. A terrorist organization actually needs the media to spread information about localized attacks as widely as possible. In the cause of reporting, or at times, hogging the limelight, the media does exactly what the terrorist wants. Paradoxically, terrorism has become a boon for the media, because such attacks make television ratings surge. “Terrorist acts are well calculated, always played to an audience and specific tactics employed to maximize impact.”

       There are people who feel that the media brings the world up to date and educates people about the ills of terrorism and how it is crucial to lend a hand against this ugly monster. I do not agree and believe that the media is only interested in its ratings, ‘damn the consequences’.  I will use three examples to support my argument.

       Since 1960, advancement in technology had affected the media greatly, giving it a face and voice, not just events reported on black and white paper. The nature of terrorism reporting had also evolved simultaneously. While aimed to promote terror in a larger target audience, terrorism often aims to recruit more supporters. The media is the conduit to both these aims. Terrorism ‘relies almost exclusively on psychological “warfare” for its intended impact. Victims of an attack are the signal that is amplified and broadcast, terrorizing the target audience into capitulating to the terrorists demands’. “Terrorists are not interested in three, or thirty – or even three thousand - deaths. They allow the imagination of the target population to do their work for them. In fact, the desired panic could be produced by the continuous broadcast of threats and declarations – by radio and TV interviews, videos and all the familiar methods of psychological warfare.”

       Terrorists have four media-dependent objectives when they strike or threaten to commit violence. The first is: Gain attention, intimidate, create fear. The second is: Recognition of the organisation’s motives. Why they are carrying out attacks? The third is: Gain the respect and sympathy of those in whose name they claim to attack. The last is: Gain a quasi-legitimate status and media treatment at par with legitimate political actors.” Many cases confirm that ‘getting attention through the media is important terrorist strategy. The 7 July 2005 London bombings on the transit system in London is one example, with the G-8 summit on in Scotland. The terrorists pushed the G-8 leaders off the front pages’.

       The Palestinian terrorist organisation Black September attack on Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympic Games 1972, when people around the world were watching the Games and large numbers of newspaper and broadcast journalists had gathered, is another example. A hostage situation and a rescue attempt ensued, closely covered by all media, and watched by approximately 800 million people throughout the world. The terrorists “monopolised the attention of a global television audience.  “Black September undoubtedly chose Munich at the time of the Olympics because the technology, equipment, and personnel were in place to guarantee a television drama that had never before been witnessed in the global arena.”

       The images of attacks like 9/11, can inspire awe. For instance, “after 9/11, Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden have become more popular in the Muslim community.” “Simply by showing that he and his kind could land a devastating blow against the US on home ground, bin Laden conditioned a large number of young Muslim men – mainly in the Muslim diaspora in western Europe – for recruitment into his cause without ever meeting them.”

       The Internet can be and has been used terrorists for cyber-terrorism, coordination of plans, communication with cells, or propaganda and information. That they can now manage their own media is not the only advantage they have in using the Internet. Higher bandwidth, a product of advancing technology, allows them to display their acts in real time, magnifying the ‘Dread Factor’ multifold.

“There are other advantages in using the Net. The audience is enormous; it is easy to access and stay anonymous, it is incredibly fast and inexpensive, and it offers a multimedia environment, which means that text, graphics, video, songs, books, and presentations can all be combined. In addition, regular media now often report on or even copy Internet content, which means that both old and new media can be influenced by using the Internet alone.” Weimann, 2004.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

FROM RIPLEY: THE MAHARAJA TURNS HIS VASSALS VEGETARIAN

THE LIMIT OF IDIOSYNCRASY

Since 1982, the troubled national carrier Air India (AI) has earned the dubious distinction of being an airline with the highest number of employees on its rolls per aircraft as it has been hiring staff to oblige political bosses who run the government. According to industry sources, no reputed airline in the world has an employee-to-aircraft ratio as high as that of AI with 27,000 employees in 2012 (rectified to 40,000 in 2015), a staggering ratio of 328 employees per aircraft.

Figures for efficient Airlines are 127 per aircraft at Lufthansa (38,000 employees: 299 aircraft), 140 at Singapore Airlines (14,000 employees with 100 aircraft) and 178 employees per aircraft at British Airways. 

"It is a fact that they are overstaffed. Positions were created to please political bosses. Staff was not hired according to operational requirements. People were hired not for competence but for connections," said Captain Mohan Ranganathan, an aviation safety consultant. With taxpayer's money utilised to save AI year after year, voices were inevitably raised to prune the airline's staff strength to make it economically viable. “The deadwood needs to be removed," Ranganathan added. HOW? It is simply not possible to remove a single employee, as they are protected by Unions. It is the only airline that allows unsightly and overweight 55-yr old mothers of three-possibly grandmas too-to fly as Cabin Crew. 

"The second highest liability of AI is overstaffing next only to the Rs 50,000 crore debt," says Captain G. R. Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan. Scaling down the number of employees and cutting their fat pay packets forms part of the turnaround plan of the loss-making airline but these crucial steps have not been implemented. Yes, it launched an aggressive voluntary retirement scheme (VRS) immediately to downsize the airline, which was running up a wage bill of Rs 4,500 cr annually. Less than 400 employees left, as the employees were very comfortable in their cushy jobs.

Even the modest plan to prune 10 per cent of the staff strength through VRS has not been implemented as political will is lacking. "It is a sorry plight that Air India does not have the right business plan and model which is adding to its woes," said Kapil Kaul, chief executive officer, South Asia, Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation (Capa). But the grapevine spilled its secrets-AI was the prime carrier of Politicos and Babus, that too in 1^st class, leave alone executive class. 

THE WHITE LIE

Out of the blue, on Oct 9, 2015 came a bolt of lightning. “AI cuts down staff-per-aircraft ratio from 300 to 108 in 2 yrs.” The hierarchy claimed that Air India had successfully reduced its air the aircraft-to-employee ratio from 300 per flight to 108, cutting it down by almost two-third in the last two years and improving on the time its aircraft remain in the air. "It has increased turn-around time for every flight and increased the number of hours an aircraft remains in the sky," an airline official. THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT. The mega money-drain now claims to have the lowest employee to aircraft ratio in the world! IN THE WORLD!!! They simply changed the nomenclature of 25,000 employees.

For once, the proper decision has been taken  ̶  Get rid of the pink elephant. But then, which fool will want to take over an inefficient, slothful, indolent and diatribe-ready set of loss makers with equally inefficient operating status, laden with crippling debts nearing 55,000 cr? When you take over 122 aircraft, 40,000+ employees, you take over unknown secrets that will tumble out of Ma Hubbard’s cupboard only after the deed is done. 

Once the nation's largest carrier (funny, there was no competition), its market share in the booming domestic market has slumped to 13 percent as private carriers such as IndiGo, Spicejet and Jet Airways have grown. Previous attempts to offload the airline have been unsuccessful. If Modi can pull this off, it will bolster his credentials as a reformer bold enough to take on some of the country's most obdurate problems. A BJP labour union has opposed the idea of a sale already. 

And the joke of the day: The national carrier has stopped serving non-vegetarian food in the economy class for all flights in the domestic sector with immediate effect. This is aimed at cutting costs! All of Rs. 30,000 per day. 1-1.2 cr per year, the salary of 2 junior Captains. Passengers in the business and first class will not be affected.

 

Dutch F-16AMs Shoot Down Unarmed Mig-29

F-16 Fighting Falcon News

How Dutch F-16AMs Shot Down an Unarmed Mig-29

On April 21 1999, Four F-16AMs of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNlAF) were among the first NATO aircraft to enter Serbian airspace on the night of 24 March, followed by another four armed with air to ground munitions. Within minutes, the Dutch had achieved their first air-to-air victory since World War II, shooting down a Serbian MiG-29.

The engagement also marked the combat debut for the F-16AM, the most advanced F-16 in operational service. 

In an interview with Jane's Defence Weekly, Lt Col Jon Abma, RNlAF,commanding officer of the Belgian-Netherlands Deployed Air Task Force DATF) described the events that happened during the first moments of Operation Allied Force.

"At 19.30hr local time four F-16AMs took off from here for a fighter escort mission to protect one of the first NATO strike packages. After an in-flight refuelling over the Adriatic Sea, the flight crossed over Albania into Serbia. Upon entering Serbian airspace, they were informed by AWACS that three MiG-29 aircraft had taken off from an air base near Belgrade," Col Abma said.

That base is understood to have been Batajnica, home of the Yugoslav Air Force's only MiG-29 unit, the 127th Fighter Aviation Squadron 'Knights'. Abma added: "The four F-16AMs headed out toward the threat, working to detect the MiGs on their own radars. Subsequently, one of the MiGs was picked up by all four F-16s. When within range, our flight leader fired one AMRAAM against the MiG. It was an instant hit, after a flight of 30 seconds."

The AMRAAM, credited with a speed of over 4,000km/h,would be capable of covering a distance of more than 33km in 30s econds. According to RNLAF personnel at Amendola, the head-on missile was launched some 28 km from the MiG-29 and impact took place 18km from the lead F-16.

"The pilot involved visually saw a fiery explosion. At the same time, the AWACS recorded that the MiG disappeared from the scope," Col Abma continued. "We have never seen the other MiG-29s, but around the same time two US F-15s shot down two of those aircraft."

Col Abma said that the rules of engagement (ROEs) for air-to-air engagements require that the target has been tracked by AWACS throughout its flight, and that four other parameters also must be met. Other RNLAF officers said that among those are a positive IFF identification and an approval from the mission commander.

Flying in the air defence role, the F-16AMs at Amendola each carried four AMRAAMs, two external fuel tanks and a Northrop Grumman ALQ-131 ECM pod. In addition four of the eight aircraft also carried two Raytheon AGM-65G Maverick air-to-ground missiles each.

"This is so that they can react instantly when a ground target needs to be attacked urgently," said Col Abma, adding that this 'swing role' capability was much appreciated by NATO's Combined Air Operations Center (CAOC) in Vicenza, Italy, which plans and leads the air campaign."

ALIGNMENT OF PICTURES IN BLOGGER

    ALIGN PHOTOS IN BLOGGER: A GUIDE

The free blog posting system, Blogger, does not provide the latest in technology to help your blog prosper. It is a daunting task to make money from your blog on Blogger. Getting photos in a neat line or position is impossible unless you know / understand HTML. Paragraph spacing, font sizes, indents, etc., is next to impossible. I have written a tutorial on how to arrange photos in a neat line, not strewn around the post with only the size and area under your control. The only limiting factor here is that the total width of all photographs should not exceed 700 spaces. 

             

1. Select the blog you want to insert photos into and click Edit. You get two options, Compose and HTML. In the  Compose mode, select the place where you want the pictures to appear and upload the pictures you want to put into your post at that place. They will appear one below the other. You can leave the sizes as they are, or use the options available to select small. Now click HTML and move into Blogger’s unwanted miles of data. Most of it is dispensable-try it and see for yourself. This is what you will see:

<w:WordDocument>

  <w:View>Normal</w:View>

  <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom>

  <w:TrackMoves/>

  <w:TrackFormatting/>

  <w:DoNotShowComments/>

  <w:PunctuationKerning/>

  <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/>

  <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>

  <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent>

  <w:DoNotPromoteQF/>

  <w:LidThemeOther>EN-US</w:LidThemeOther>

  <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian>

  <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript>

 

 mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; plus scores of similar lines.

Use Control + F and a slot opens up bottom left/top right. Insert <a href= and press ‘Highlight all’. You’ll soon see the HTML zone you want to use. These are the lines you want:  

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

" src=" https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SJY2Fbwx2T4/ WRDCxq_WEQI/AAAAAAAACos/nl4gw1RtOgwRhJina3OFzREbF1sa8qoDwCLcB/s1600/buch8.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tNeX5Uo_WFw/ WRDC6rUix0I/ AAAAAAAACow/ ZecaDlueunM4uunpcOquRMkxg4-NK8eRACLcB/s1600/fort.jpg " width="180" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>

Look for the src= and then copy the URL leaving the inverted commas out, from http:// all the way along to xxxxxxxxxxx.jpg    This example showed placement of only 2 pics. The height and width are relatively small. Now add your bit below the last green width if you have more than one picture to put in line and above the pink div class="separator line. There will also be an image height slot; use 300.  

Change the width dimensions as required to fit best.

Paste the yellow highlighted URLs into the yellow highlighted URL above. This set can take 4 pics. For more, just add more lines. Ensure total width doesn't exceed 700 pts. Update the post, publish it and finally, switch back to Compose (text) from HTML. Delete the random pics. 
This is for 7 pics.

<table>
<tbody>

 <tr>

<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

Let's start with an example, Glen Orrin. Copy that pic onto your desktop, in your docs/pics/just desktop. Edit/crop it as required using MS photo manager or MS Paint. Now upload this snap into your blog in the Compose mode. Switch to Edit mode and this is what you will see in HTML: <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d2kFAx3q6Ms/ XW41czpzQlI/AAAAAAAAHEE/xfJB_KsvA1ENatmzWAKvBl_IMgG9Hr1hwCLcBGAs/s1600/aldi-supermarket-glen-orrin-blended-malt-scotch-whisky-M41WGB.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1016" data-original-width="251" height="200" width="49" /></a><span style="font-family: 
Verdana, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span><br />

What this means is that you copied the Glen Orrin pic with original dimensions of 1016 by 251 pixels. You then edited/cropped the photo to one fifth, down to height="200" from 1016 pts from its source (src), which resized the width to ~a fifth of 251, i.e., 49. You can increase height to say 300, i.e., a 50% increase, so you must increase height to 74 pts. And, when lining it up with others in HTML, do ensure the others have the same height of 200 or 300 or whatever. The blue shaded portion is to be copied and pasted into the "src" window.
<td><img height="xxx"><img src="  " width="xx" /></td>

Scotch is back with a bang. Global exports in 2016 turned positive after three long years, with values mounting 4% to £4 billion (U$5.2bn). Single Malts took the biggest share of the pie in percentage with a solid revival: exports soared by 12% in value to cross the £1bn (US$1.3bn) barrier for the first time. Johnnie Walker and Chivas Regal both saw losses, yet others, including Ballantine’s and Black & White, saw impressive gains. William Grant & Sons also flourished, with volume sales climbing by 9.5% to 1.21 million cases for Glenfiddich putting daylight between it and main rival The Glenlivet, owned by Pernod Ricard. Glenfiddich is attracting the next generation of premium whisky drinkers through the release of high­profile new expressions, particularly The Glenfiddich Experimental Series, a range of unexpected and unusual variants created by malt master Brian Kinsman, taking single malt into a bold new direction and helping to define a new Scotch era, according to a company spokesman.
