How the media turned an attack in Norway into an Islamist terror plot
- drats 15y agoBreaking news events slipping into HN every now and then is one thing, commentary on news coverage of events is another. I flagged this submission for this reason. It's worth discussing, but elsewhere.
- iuguy 15y agoI see what you're saying but I hoped to provoke a discussion on how we as hackers and founders can use this to our advantage, and whether or not it would be ethically/morally right to do so. By this I don't mean start pretending to be terror experts or distort the truth, but I do think that understanding how these things escalate and are distorted can prepare us for an advantage in our own media relations. What does HN think? How can we use knowledge of the way modern media jumps on bandwagons like this to our advantage?
- burgerbrain 15y agoIt seems odd for an article condemning muslim/terrorist generalizations to call out "white men".
