What Style Guides Tell Secular Journalists about Muslims and Islam
Journalists in secular contexts report – accurately and fairly, we hope – on religious communities and events. Quantitative studies of media content and discourse have suggested a rise in reporting on religion in general and, since 9/11, Islam in particular, with misrepresentations and negative representations. I draw on findings from a new study evaluating journalistic style guides on their representation of Muslims and Islam. A researcher and I…
Spiritual News
Answering for Islam
Media representations of Muslims in Britain have often disappointed both faith practitioners and scholars. Imputed failings include distorting beliefs or practices, essentialising the faith, and amplifying voices that are not representative of Islam. This last factor hinges on questions of authority: what journalists and Muslims recognise as authority can differ in important ways. Drawing on studies of journalism practice, prior professional expe…
A Field Theory Perspective on Journalist-Source Relations
In this article, I apply Bourdieu's field theory to research on the trajectories, strategies and relations of sources and journalists. I argue that the relational emphasis of field theory, modified by the concept of media meta-capital, can be a fruitful way of examining the social context in which representations of Muslims are produced. This advances scholarship that relies too heavily on content analysis to support judgements about news represe…

From voice to voices
This article identifies a qualitative change in the diversity of actors who represent Muslims in British news media. Hitherto, the literature discussing Muslims and the media has tended to characterize media organizations as institutions which portray Muslims in an essentialized, monolithic way. In contrast, I propose in this article that the process of representation is more complex, including greater agency and engaging a wider diversity of Mus…
When You Can’t Rely on Public or Private
The problem of access is enduring and significant for fieldwork-based research on media production, but some periods are more challenging than others. When scholars gathered in Leeds in 2013 to discuss advancing the field, the United Kingdom news media were in a turbulent time. The phone-hacking practices of certain newspapers and the subsequent scrutiny of the Leveson Inquiry had scholars wondering whether the notoriously uncooperative private p…
