*Special Issue: 'Communicating Terrorism'*

*/Critical Studies on Terrorism /**vol 2, issue 1.*

The field of terrorism studies has expanded exponentially since the 9/11 attacks. At the same time, significant quantities of political communication scholarship has tasked itself with attempting to understand better issues pertaining to terrorism and media communications. This special issue of /Critical Studies on Terrorism/ is dedicated to developing and expanding critical engagement with issues relating to the communication and mediatisation of terrorism. Drawing together a range of leading scholars, this special issue provides a series of research articles addressing three distinct areas of inquiry: discourses associated with the issue of terrorism, mainstream 'traditional' media representation of the terrorism issue, and the consequences of today's 'new' digital and interconnected information-communication environment. The papers each highlight the contribution of critical political communication research to the field of terrorism studies. Content as follows:
