Extremist communication
summary
Two years of daily content analysis shows ISIS frames itself with two dominant narratives — a paradise-like functioning caliphate (welfare, schools, hospitals, markets) and the heroic fighter story — while graphic brutality is surprisingly rare at 3% violent content; material is professionally produced and distributed across many servers and thousands of coordinated Twitter accounts, with children featured even as executioners. Useful if wanting concrete numbers, distribution tactics and examples; calls for interdisciplinary, interview-based counterresearch.
