Abstract:
The analysis contained herein treats the relationship between terrorism and the
internet. Instead of treating cyberterrorism as the most important conjunction of
terrorism and the Internet (as has been the tendency to date - even amongst those who
doubt the efficacy of the cyberterrorist threat), this study illustrates how terrorist use
of the Net is an everyday 'reality' and one that ought to attract far more attention than
it has yet received. The study places a particular emphasis on terrorist Web sites as the
vehicles for terrorist publicity and propaganda, one of the most prominent
contemporary terrorist uses of the Net. but also seeks to balance claims about the
power of 'small media,' such as the Internet, against the continued dominance of the
traditional mass media (i.e. 'big media').
