Review: "Dozens of communication researchers responded to the tragedies of 9/11 by immediately designing and carrying out research projects. Some examined communication behaviors. Some did content analysis of the news media. Some made studied observations about their communication environments. Still others were concerned with emotional, physiological, and behavioral responses to 9/11 events among children, youth and adults. For most of the researchers, this was part of their own means of coping with a unique experience. All responded quickly to a call to make their study results available before another crisis occurs." "This volume compiles the best of those research efforts. Studies include diffusion of news of the attacks, the role of the Internet, tracking of media use and gratifications, how television covered the crisis, the portrayal of the enemy in editorial cartoons, national studies of stress reactions, parents' perceptions of their children's fears, and the role of communication in coping with terror."--BOOK JACKET.
