This ground-breaking book takes an interdisciplinary approach to
language, religion and media using an audience-response study. In
this book, the author investigates how the three Abrahamic faiths -
Christianity, Judaism and Islam - are represented in mainstream
British media and analyses how members of each religious group and
those with no religion receive those representations. Employing
Critical Discourse Analysis, Al-Azami considers the way the media
use their power of language to influence the audience's perceptions
of the three religions through newspaper articles, television
documentaries and television dramas. Chapter 3 presents the results
of an original investigation into the responses of members of the
three religious groups and those with no religion when exposed to
those same media materials. The author applies the
encoding/decoding model and also considers people's views in
face-to-face interactions compared to comments on online
newspapers. Comprehensive in its analysis, this book will be of
interest to students of Linguistics, Media Studies, Religious
Studies, and Journalism.
