Governments are seen as legitimate if they are able to resolve the tension between security and freedom to the general satisfaction of the people. According to this dilemma, the media play a critical role as an arena in which information is made available to the public, multiple claims and justifications are presented and discussed, and essential opinions are formed. Therefore, while the balance of security and freedom is the crucial task of contemporary governments, the role of critical media as a platform for public political discourse and as a guardian of freedom is gaining considerable importance. The media contribute and shape the public perception of security threats, because they frame the communication about security problems by focusing on what is discussed and how, and no less important how it is not discussed. This book brings together senior and junior scholars from various disciplines as well as industry experts in order to provide important insights into the values and price of security in terms of financial cost as well as important but sometimes hidden costs i- such as limitation of personal freedom and privacy.
