Organised by the Media Discourse Group at De Montfort University, this one-day conference will examine the various ways in which security is described in the media, with particular reference to the stories promoted by news organisations when they attempt to support or undermine the various propositions made to the public about security and the 'terror threat'.

There is an Early Bird rate of £55 (full price) and £25 (students/unwaged) for those registering by 23 April 2011.
