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.
This book brings together contributions from ten academics and a
commentary from a Muslim community leader on how the British media
represent some of the most important terminologies related to Islam
and Muslims. It takes a nuanced approach to language within Muslims
in the media research by focusing on terminologies. Each
contributor in this volume focused on one terminology and its
associated words to show how the representation of these
terminologies have major implications on the lives of British
Muslims. The book also includes some key recommendations on the
usage of these terms from the Media Style Guide of the Centre for
Media monitoring - a research organisation of the Muslim Council of
Britain. This book’s link with the Muslim community can be
a step towards new approaches in this field where academics will
engage with communities and practitioners to ensure better impact
of their academic works. This book will be of interest to students,
scholars and practitioners in a range of fields, including
Journalism, Media and Communication Studies, English Language and
Linguistics, Sociology, Cultural and Religious Studies.
