People don"t appreciate just how central security and intelligence are to good or bad governance in a post-9/11 world. Tendency has been to pay too little attention to this part of society, because shrouded in secrecy, mislead in popular culture mythology , practice of governance to encourage ignorance about these issues in society. Pre-9/11- if questions came up in media about security, virtually no media expertise or focus on these issues. There was just 1 media person who could be described as covering this beat, across all different media platforms, stewart bell with national post. Post-9/11- media realized issue was important, tried to get up to speed.
