99People’s attitudes and behaviours are influenced by their perception of Others and
expectations towards them, in connection with their social and cultural context. These
dynamics are strongly influenced by the information transmitted by the mass media, in their
dual role as both mediators of reality and opinion leaders. Sometimes, the information
transmitted can be a “distorted reflection” of reality; for example, news about terrorist
attacks by more or less organized groups or the murderous anger of a single individual (in
our cases, a motor vehicle rammed into the crowd) often serve as a sounding board for
certain social issues, such as crime and security for people and communities. This work aims
at illustrating, through an analysis on media frames (both iconographic and textual), which
types of representations the European press offers to its readers in the narration of certain
events linked to terrorism and how such representations can affect (or not) the creation of
generalized alarm phenomena (moral panics).
