Description
This panel investigates how public opinion, media narratives, and everyday understandings of (in)security interact to shape the formulation, legitimation, and contestation of security policy. The papers discuss how security is communicated, interpreted, and experienced through vernacular and everyday articulations of security and how the circulation of disinformation and media narratives influence public perceptions of security. The panel examines the co-constitution of security and communication, highlighting how media and public discourse operate as key sites where meanings of security are produced, normalised, and contested.
