- Abstract
This thesis examines how Canadian journalists are adapting to changing environments in their coverage of terrorism since the rise of ISIS in 2014, the first ever social-media terrorist group. The crux of this analysis focuses on how ISIS has changed the Canadian media's normal journalistic routines and methods of reporting on terrorism and terrorists. Interviews were conducted with seven Canadian journalists to determine how the terrorism narrative has changed as a result of ISIS. In conclusion, although the nature of terrorism has not changed, the way that ISIS promulgates itself through social media proves to be a challenge for journalists.
