“…Among the limited research on New Zealand terrorism pre-Christchurch, some approached it from an historical lens, 26 while others examined the legal framework of counter-terrorism in New Zealand. 27 It was only after the Christchurch terrorist attack that research on New Zealand terrorism really started to grow, with a majority of research focusing on Right-Wing Extremism (RWE) and white supremacy. 28 Crucially, there is to date very little research that examines the discourse of terrorism in a New Zealand context, 29 although there is some important research on the editorial focus of media texts within journalism.…”

This article explores the news media’s contribution to the evolving public discourse on terrorism in Aotearoa New Zealand. Employing a critical theory framework, it focuses on the construction of responses to terrorism through an analysis of two media texts related to the Christchurch terrorist attack, namely, “The end of our innocence” by Stuff and “This Is Us” by Radio New Zealand. The analysis demonstrates that, while the dominant media discourse had previously reduced discussions of terrorism to Islamic terrorism, the Christchurch attack created space for an alternative perspective. Moreover, the Muslim community in New Zealand has utilised news media to reject conventional thinking on terrorism. The analysis also suggests that the construction of a new, more meaningful public understanding of terrorism is possible if a wider range of authoritative speakers participate in the evolving public discourse of terrorism and if various social actors are given the opportunity to represent themselves.
