Abstract:

Is the British press prejudiced against Muslims? In what ways can prejudice be
explicit or subtle? This book uses a detailed analysis of over 140 million
words of newspaper articles on Muslims and Islam, combining corpus linguistics
and discourse analysis methods to produce an objective picture of media
attitudes. The authors analyse representations around frequently cited topics
such as Muslim women who wear the veil and 'hate preachers'. The analysis is
self-reflexive and multidisciplinary, incorporating research on journalistic
practices, readership patterns and attitude surveys to answer questions which
include: what do journalists mean when they use phrases like 'devout Muslim'
and how did the 9/11 and 7/7 attacks affect press reporting? This is a
stimulating and unique book for those working in fields of discourse analysis
and corpus linguistics, while clear explanations of linguistic terminology
make it valuable to those in the fields of politics, media studies, journalism
and Islamic studies.

1. Introduction; 2. Sketching Muslims: the big picture; 3. Muslim or Moslem:
differences between newspapers; 4. The 9/11 effect: change over time; 5.

rhyme? Earlier news representations of Muslims; 10. Conclusion.
