Broadening an overly narrow definition of Islamic journalism, Janet
Steele examines day-to-day reporting practices of Muslim
professionals, from conservative scripturalists to pluralist
cosmopolitans, at five exemplary news organizations in Malaysia and
Indonesia. At Sabili, established as an underground publication,
journalists are hired for their ability at dakwah, or Islamic
propagation. At Tempo, a news magazine banned during the Soeharto
regime and considered progressive, many see their work as a
manifestation of worship, but the publication itself is not
considered Islamic. At Harakah, reporters support an Islamic
political party, while at Republika they practice a "journalism of
the Prophet" and see Islam as a market niche. Other news
organizations, too, such as Malaysiakini, employ Muslim
journalists. Steele, a longtime scholar of the region, explores how
these publications observe universal principles of journalism
through an Islamic idiom.
