In his book, Dr. Indiwan tried to link the news media about terrorism that he considered less of balanced. As a final task in his progress to his Doctorate Degree, he also interviewed some of the media practitioners as his sources. Based on this research, the media is considered less balanced in presenting the news about terrorism because, that news published only based on one side.
