Abstract

On February 15, 2024, Dr. Scott Watson presented Intersections of Influence: Exploring the Nexus between Mass Media and Security. The presentation was followed by a question-and-answer period with questions from the audience and CASIS Vancouver executives. The key points discussed were the significant role of mass media in shaping public perceptions and policymaker attitudes on various security levels; the diffusion of media ownership, particularly in social media, allows for broader participation yet lacks the journalistic norms and ethics seen in traditional media; and how all types of media can produce insecurity through the spread of simplistic narratives, false equivalencies, the decline in societal trust, and the platforming of foreign influences.
