Description
Summary:This research, part of a larger project at the University of Leicester, aims to "identify the representations of British Islam in the British national press, testing the hypothesis that coverage of Muslims and Islam is mainly unfavorable and related to specific subjects". It is based on the quantitative content analysis of 6.500 articles published by the Times / The Sunday Times and The Guardian / The Observer over a 3 year period (1994-1996). The main result is that the picture of Islam and Muslims in the analysed papers is as distorted as the picture drawn in the Western media in general. (DÜI-Cls)
