05/03/21 Comments Closed When a terrorist attack is depicted in the media, we’re usually right in the thick of it, perhaps following the perpetrator’s movements leading up to the atrocity, seeing the explosion, or perhaps more controversially taking part in it like in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s infamous ‘No Russian’ mission. The truth however is we’re rarely at the centre of it, but on the periphery, trying to figure out what’s going on, confused by a rush of responses, assuming there had been an accident, before the horror eventually dawns. Even once something like this happens, how then is that story told, and through which outlets or commentators?
