The Communication Strategies That Involving Actors Adopted During The 2015 Paris Terrorists Attacks

In recent news, there has been a string of attacks all over the world; each attack has been related to terrorism. A passenger boarded a train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, armed with a box cutter, a pistol and an AK-47 with intent to harm innocent people. Four passengers on the train quickly subdued the terrorist before anyone could be harmed. In November, Paris, France was struck with terror when three armed men set off a string of attacks throughout the city, to include a bomb and active shootings. This attack left nearly 127 people killed and wounded. Most recently, in San Bernadino, California a man and woman left from a holiday party and returned with assault rifles. The officials attributed their act to terrorism, where the

As all have known Paris was attacked by a bombing. Which has caused many damages on the area. Although the damage has been done to this wonderful place the president Francois Hollande has taken charge against it and has taken it fairly quickly. And it might cause more damage than before to Paris and it’s people. Also it might cause damage to the other country or state and those people. He has taken charge and he's not looking back.

On the evening of Friday, 13 November 2015, a massacre including of public mass shootings and suicide bombings occurred in the capital of France, Paris. The attackers killed 130 people and wounded 368 serious injuries. Just 10 months previous, on January 7, 2015 two terrorists attacked Charlie Hebdo, an office of a Parisian satirical magazine. They killed eleven and wounded eleven people. During the attacks in Paris, no one victim was armed. They didn’t have any chance to defense for themselves. When police arrived, it was too late to save the innocents. The world today is full of dangerous with terrorism, criminals, mass shootings, and so forth. We 're not safe from anything.

From emergency personnel, to retail vendors, to educators and students, to government or military employees and members of the general public, anyone could potentially be involved in an active shooter crisis situation. As active shooter incidents are becoming more frequent in recent years; being prepared to effectively respond when faced with such a crisis situation can save lives and help a city to better prepare for and respond to such crisis situations (FBI major findings, 2014, para. 1-2). According to a recent FBI Active Shooter Incident Study (2014), “individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in populated areas (excluding gang or drug related shootings)” are considered to be active shooters. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the city of Aurora, Colorado handled the active shooting crisis that occurred on July 20, 2012. This paper will explain the crisis situation and discuss the communication responses that ensued on that day.

Unfortunately with the Paris attacks of November 13th 2015 several lives were lost. I’m sorry to whose friends, family members, and loved were hurt or killed by these violent attacks. I’ve been deep in thought pondering about multiple occasions throughout the past few years about our country’s own violent incidents. I sense that there are undeniable similarities, but only to a certain extent. There’s some bizarre situations that lead to impious and disastrously violent outcomes. It has caused me to feel highly anxious as will life becomes a literal nightmare. I want to provide functional resolutions to all sorts of issues including various types of inhumane brutality on our own selves because it’s becoming far more frequent than it has ever

November 2015 in a speech dealing with national security in the wake of the Paris terror attacks:

It is taking actions to address the problem and eliminate such heinous acts. Undertaking such an arduous task of reforming the implementation of preventing domestic terrorist attacks is raising serious controversy between political parties, not to mention questions of accountability and effective responsiveness to the problem. Pointing fingers and labeling the extremist with politically inflammatory terminology such as “extreme right wing” or “extreme conservatives,” is distracting from the real issues of coordinating intergovernmental collaboration and cooperation, structural and procedural reform, clarifying policy goals, centralizing information gathered and communicating efficiently between organizations, and utilizing technology and other resources to the government's advantage in this war on terrorism. These issues are not small challenges for the government, particularly the administrators involved in every organization at every level. In order to win this war and overcome, the players involved must tackle the challenges in front of them and implement effective and efficient

Firstly, the “war on terror” had reduced the humanitarian concerns down, and the foreign policy. Furthermore, media coverage had become more deferential and constrained: therefore, reducing the chances of media influencing policy. The “war on terror” most importantly provided journalists with a guide in which they could understand global events and policy makers with the ability to justify a more aggressive foreign policy plan. At last, the “war on terror” had constructed an ideological bond between journalist and policy makers which created stronger media management. Techniques developed to display coverage of certain issues over others to frame stories that support official

The Paris shootings lead up to relative issues to be discussed with global citizens and politicians in this problematic world. Children are dying of hunger, unimpeachable lives are being lost, religious hatred rising and terrorism increasing by day by day.

The French newspaper Le Monde announced on September 12, 2001, “Today, we are all Americans.” People around the world agreed: The terrorist attacks of the previous day had felt like attacks on everyone, everywhere. They provoked an unprecedented expression of shock, horror, solidarity and sympathy for the victims and their families (Reaction to

We examined two articles about the bus bombing incident, one from Time and one from the New York Times. The Time article gave a much more general overview of the incident, and lacked some details, such as who was arrested and why, and the response of the government. The New York Times article discussed this information in great detail. It includes the names of the perpetrators and the reason for their arrest. It also discusses the response of Attorney General Robert Kennedy, who

Media partnership is another critical assumption that is used in an emergency situation. The media takes the responsibility of giving information to the public, as well as receiving information from them too. Thus, any emergency response team must work together with the media to give information that is particularly accurate and timely to avert situations that aggravate tension. Emergency managers must have an understanding of the needs and requirements of the media and the value that they come with in emergency response situations (Haddow & Haddow, 2013).

For example, terrorists attacks were made in Paris, France in 2015. On Friday November 13, 2015 at 3:20 p.m, guns went off, bombs exploded, and many people killed and wounded. Gunmen and suicide bombers all had hit a concert hall, a major stadium, and restaurants and bars almost all at the same time. It had left 130 people dead, and hundreds wounded, with more than 100 in critical condition. The President of France described this attack as an “act of war” against the Islamic State. Three teams were believed to be behind these attacks. Instantly after the attacks, French police carried out hundreds of raids across the country in search of the suspects. This tragedy hurt, and touched every single heart in the world. The U.S. sent troops over for support, and to help Paris out. Carried throughout all social media, were messages and prayers going towards Paris (Paris Attacks;BBC News, 2015).

“If the media were not there to report terrorist acts and to explain their political and social significance...terrorism as such would cease to exist” said John O'Sullivan, an editor of the Times of London.1 This is also the way many other people feel about the recent increase in terrorist activity; they feel that the media is causing it. The media is doing this by fulfilling the terrorists' need for publicity.2 Terrorists need media publicity in order to get their views spread to the public.3 Because of this need for publicity, terrorists are committing their acts of terrorism in areas where a lot of publicity will be gained; the United States and Western Europe are the most recent targets. The bombings of the federal building in
