Abstract :
The debate over violence, particularly political violence, in media coverage gets more public attention when the violent actions involve tens or even hundreds of people as the victims. With the global scope of mass media owing to new technology, the audiences are globalized as well as the events. In the case of media portraying the immense destruction during the globalized events resulting in mass casualties public discussions of the media's ethical roles and responsibilities such as the appropriateness for capturing the event and sufferers as public consumption have heightened. Such questions reflect the societal concerns on the need to review the nature of media with regards to links to politics. This paper, however, will not review the debate but only refer the relationship of the media and violence as the main issue.
