The Role of the Media in Promoting National Security Interests
The Role of the Media in Promoting National Security Interests

Summary/Abstract: The relationship that is created between mass communication and the national interest, in general, and the national security interest, in particular, is based on the relationship between communion and democracy in the public space. We will demonstrate that the media message can perhaps contribute to social integration and solidarity, by offering journalistic products that capture the general attention and interest, and by promoting the culture of security, an aspect that we consider essential in our analysis. We propose certain ways by which the media treatment of the topics related to issues of national security should have the purpose of promoting national security interests, through journalistic products.
