ABSTRACT
Though the RSIM is believed to have been deactivated in 2006 as a result of the capture and death of its key leaders, remnants of the RSIM reportedly continue to embrace an extremist ideology that justifies terrorism. The RSIM has used the media in all its forms to spread its extremist ideology, publicize its cause and mount terrorist operations. This paper examines the use of media in terrorism in the Philippines focusing on the RSIM as a case study. It aims to describe RSIM's use of the broadcast (radio and television), print (news papers, magazines) and cyber media (internet) to spread its Islamic fundamentalist ideology that frames the terrorist acts of its members.
