How do you think journalism could best portray a crisis situation without fanning the flames or glorifying/leading credence to terrorism or war in general?
I'm thinking what Algeria did to curb ISIS growth could be a critical case study on how terrorist organizations use the media as a recruitment tool. With the ISIS movement potentially growing in Algeria, their government refused to make a media circus out of every terrorist act, and instead let out a small note on the government page reporting each act. This largely led to ISIS abandoning its efforts in recruitment/terrorist efforts in Algeria.
