- The book forms the endpoint of a substantial and sustained academic effort, encompassing a period of seven years’ worth of original research (inclusive of data-collection, analysis and writing). The analysis is ambitious in scale and scope, combining rigorous multimodal discourse analysis of a decade of BBC reporting of al-Qaeda’s terrorism (2001-2011) alongside interviews with the broadcaster’s most senior journalists and editors, and provides extended insight into the complexities of the BBC’s terrorism-related coverage and the wider challenges faced by its journalists in today’s media environment. Such insights are the direct result of a prolonged period of data collection and analysis.
