If your point is that media coverage of terrorism has military effects, it is a very dubious point. I doubt that any one can show with any degree of precision that media coverage somehow leads to concrete military effects

War is a test of will. If the media coverage can change dominant political opinion, that will have political effects in a democracy - which is why terrorism is most effective against democracies.
