| Summary: | This study explores the portrayal of Islam and Muslims in the Western mainstream
media talk shows, CNN and BBC from January 2012 to December 2012 and draws the
required data from their online editions. It is a content analysis of 50 programs focusing
on Islam and Muslims from Piers Morgan Live, Fareed Zakaria GPS, HARDtalk and
Newsnight. The findings show that rather than economics, religion and war on terror
both news channels were more focused in discussing the political shifts and regional
transformations of the Muslim world. Mostly the geopolitical issues of Middle East and
North Africa (MENA) region were given immense coverage in the discussions and
Muslims were framed as politically fanatics. The findings also established that Western
media differs from the previous rhetoric by not framing Muslims as terrorists, violent
and threat to Western democracy |
