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.
