This book examines ISIS’ media propaganda machine. The book focuses
on case studies that have been largely understudied in relation to
ISIS’ media production. Empirically, it offers new insights into how
ISIS uses its media production to disseminate its extremist ideology
by focusing on video games, educational apps, Dark Web sites, and
offline billboards. The book argues that despite all the discussion
about how ISIS has disappeared or even died, the terrorist group’s
daily activities on the Dark Web show that they are still thriving and
disseminating their propaganda in more than 20 different languages,
and effectively functioning as an international news organization.
Using a mixed-method research approach, the book offers a multilayered
understanding of media content and fills a major gap in the
literature, especially in relation to the use of educational apps and
the Dark Web. This book will be of much interest to students of media
and communication studies, terrorism and counterterrorism, Middle
Eastern politics, and international relations.
