Panelists discuss the role of journalism in shaping public understanding of terrorism at home and abroad following the 9/11 attacks, assessing how the media’s coverage in the aftermath and throughout the global war on terror shifted the national security and foreign policy landscape.

This meeting is part of the series, Twenty-Five Years Later: Reflections on 9/11 and the War on Terror, which examines how the legacy of the 9/11 attacks and the war on terrorism continues to shape U.S. foreign policy, domestic security, global affairs, defense strategy, and national security.
