Annotation
This paper explores and compares the portrayal of terrorism threat in recent televised election campaigns in the U.K., the U.S. and the Russian Federation. The British media and audience seem to stay more rational and less emotional than their American and Russian counterparts in terrorism discussions during national elections.
