Media effects of jihadist terrorism have produced a great deal of contributions both to studies on political communication and those on security and defense. Networks of jihadist propaganda and their evolution have been a constant concern for military members, politicians and academics.The objective of this article is twofold: on the one hand, to show how jihadist statements making reference to Spain have been in recent years. On the other hand, to analyze the impact of such statements in Spanish media, and more specifically in Spanish press. Based on a classic and quantitative methodology, namely content analysis, this research provides original data on the media significance of groups such as Al-Qaeda or Daesh in Spain. Press analysis is based on framing theories, mainly with the purpose of identifying the main media themes when dealing with jihadist terrorism. To sum it up, this work offers an empirical view on the relationship between jihadist communiques and media coverage, a topic rarely explored in the Spanish academic field to date. |
