RT Book T1 ISIS' propaganda machine: global mediated terrorism A1 Al-Rawi, Ahmed K. 1975- LA English PP London New York PB Routledge YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1881275221 AB "This book examines ISIS's media propaganda machine. The book focuses on case studies that have been largely under-studied in relation to ISIS's media production. Empirically, it offers new insights into how ISIS uses its media production to disseminate its extremist ideology by focusing on video games, educational apps, Dark Web sites, and offline billboards. The book argues that despite all the discussion about how ISIS has disappeared or even died, the terrorist group's daily activities on the Dark Web show that they are still thriving and disseminating their propaganda in more than 20 different languages, and effectively functioning as an international news organization. Using a mixed method research approach, the book offers a multilayered understanding of media content and fills a major gap in the literature, especially in relation to the use of educational apps and the Dark Web. This book will be of much interest to students of media and communication studies, terrorism and counter-terrorism, Middle Eastern politics and International Relations"-- CN HV6433.I722 SN 9781032615868 SN 9781032615875 K1 ISIS (Organization) K1 Terrorism K1 Propaganda K1 Internationaler Terrorismus K1 Terrorist K1 Dschihadismus K1 Militanz K1 Islam K1 Kampagne K1 Massenmedien K1 Internet K1 Social Media K1 Naher Osten K1 Mittlerer Osten K1 Nordafrika
