Broadcasting Terrorism

Thirteen years ago Hutu leaders used Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines (RTLM) to catalyze the genocide in Rwanda.  The effects were devastating.  Today, the problem of proliferating violence over the airwaves continues.  As Daniel Kimmage and Kathleen Ridolfo explore for RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty, Sunni insurgents in Iraq are using media to breed hatred and spread a “War of Images and Ideas.”  Be sure to catch Ridolfo at our October conference, Overcoming Extremism, to explore these ideas further.
