"Scholarly articles and books on violence and terror in the mass media comprise the bulk of this bibliography. The 784 entries are numbered, divided into sections on mass media content, mass media effects, pornography, and terrorism, then arranged alphabetically by author. Content and effects chapte ... rs are by far the largest, spanning 673 entries and 184 pages. Annotations are descriptive. The introduction lists several other useful bibliographic studies of terrorism and violence, including Richard L. Moreland and Michael L. Berbaum's "Terrorism and the Mass Media: A Researcher's Bibliographyˆ in Abraham H. Miller's (ed. ) Terrorism: The Media and the Law (Transnational, 1982) and Violence and the Media: A Bibliography (Toronto: The Royal Commission, 1977). This publication started as a UNESCO project in 1984 and includes, according to the compilers, most relevant publications through early 1987. Most works included were published in the United States, although "an effort was made to obtain and include studies from all countries where relevant research has been conducted. Communications research in general and media violence studies in particular have had the widest reach in the United States." (Jo A. Cates: Journalism - a guide to the reference literature.
