In a press conference on July 24, 2014, the director of the Norwegian Police Security Service (PST) and the Minister of Justice unexpectedly broke the news that Norway was facing an unspecific, but credible threat that terrorists from an “extreme Islamic group” would shortly attack the country. A national terror alert was issued for the first time, followed immediately by exceptional security measures, such as the arming of the usually unarmed police. In the anticipation of an attack, the public was for the first time involved in the counterterrorism efforts by being asked to be vigilant and to report any suspicious behavior. However, there was no attack on Norway, and the alert was called off a few days later without any explicit explanation. As part of the larger context of how risks and threats have been communicated in the past decades, this article describes the materialization of the event and discusses how the announcement and the content of the communications by the authorities were framed in the media coverage of it. Concretely, based on the concept of framing theory, the media coverage surrounding the announcement is considered, and the announcement is discussed via three identified frames emerging from the empirical data. These are discussed against the backdrop of the recent history of Norwegian counterterrorism practices, focusing on the effects and impacts of making such an announcement.

沟通风险

在 2014 年 7 月 24 日的新闻发布会上，挪威警察安全局 (PST) 局长和司法部长出人意料地爆料，挪威正面临一种不具体但可信的威胁，即来自“极端伊斯兰组织”的恐怖分子将不久攻打国家。首次发布了全国恐怖警报，随后立即采取了特殊的安全措施，例如武装通常手无寸铁的警察。在预料到袭击的情况下，公众第一次被要求保持警惕并报告任何可疑行为，从而参与到反恐工作中。然而，挪威并没有受到攻击，几天后警报被取消，没有任何明确的解释。作为过去几十年如何传达风险和威胁的更大背景的一部分，本文描述了事件的具体化，并讨论了当局的公告和通讯内容如何在媒体报道中构成框架。具体而言，基于框架理论的概念，考虑了围绕公告的媒体报道，并通过从经验数据中出现的三个确定的框架来讨论公告。这些是在挪威反恐实践的近期历史背景下讨论的，重点是发布此类公告的效果和影响。考虑了围绕该公告的媒体报道，并通过从经验数据中出现的三个确定的框架来讨论该公告。这些是在挪威反恐实践的近期历史背景下讨论的，重点是发布此类公告的效果和影响。考虑了围绕该公告的媒体报道，并通过从经验数据中出现的三个确定的框架来讨论该公告。这些是在挪威反恐实践的近期历史背景下讨论的，重点是发布此类公告的效果和影响。
