Victims of Terrorist Attacks in Western Europe and outside|Statista

..These numbers do not give clear answers; they rather lead to new questions: Why does it look like the level of fear in Western Europe is so much higher today than in the 1970s and 1980s?

A pointer: no 24 hours news channels, little commercial TV, the tabloids were not as out of control as now and, above all, no Internet and social media. The relentless hammering of 24h news channels, which need to fill time whether there is news or not, magnifies everything out of proportion – big or small event. And the web more often than not acts as a gigantic distorting mirror, twisting everything it reflects.
