Dieses Buch bietet einen diachronen und inter-/transmedialen Ansatz für das Verhältnis von Medien und Angst - die Rolle der Medien bei Pandemien, Kriegen und anderen Krisen sowie bei der politischen Einschüchterung. Es weist auf den historisch und transkulturell starken Nexus zwischen Medien und Angst hin, der mit neuen Medien immer wieder neue Formen findet, aber immer ähnlichen Logiken folgt.
