Conference

Organised by the *Media Discourse Group* at De Montfort University, this
one-day conference will examine the various ways in which security is
described in the media, with particular reference to the stories
promoted by news organisations when they attempt to support or undermine
the various propositions made to the public about security and the
‘terror threat’.

Our keynote speakers are Professor Lilie Chouliaraki (London School of
Economics), Professor Mark Neocleous (Brunel University) and Dr Zahera
Harb (University of Nottingham).
