Essay

The problem of public opinion shaping influenced by information disseminated in the media during crisis. Examining the nature of the information coverage of terrorist attacks on 11.09.2001 in the United States and on 11.03.2004 in Spain, the author has proved that the terrorist attack is both a threat to social stability and an opportunity to enhance the popularity of the political elite. The result depends only on the efficiency of the communication policy of the ruling circles. In view of this fact, the candidate for a degree offers a number of strategic and tactical measures to minimize the negative consequences of the attack for the public and government.
