Scholars of communication, media, and journalism in the US, Europe, and Australia explore the role of mass media in crisis from the infamous 1938 radio broadcast of War of the Worlds to the 2012 superstorm Sandy on the US east coast. Among the topics are the Invasion from Mars and its legacy for mass communication scholarship, interwar wireless scares in cross-national comparison, CBS News' coverage of the D-Day invasion, interconnection and embodiment in Howard Stern's 9/11 radio broadcast, social media curation and journalistic reporting on the Arab Spring, and information needs and online narratives during two "bombing" events in Nairobi.
