Anti-Arab prejudice in the UK: the 'Kilroy-Silk Affair' and the BBC response

Abstract

Set in both British and international contexts, this text is designed as a comprehensive and critical textbook which clearly establishes the links between context, content, production and audiences. Looking closely at a wide range of journalistic genres the authors examine the influence of Muslims in the processes of news production, and the ways in which audiences, both Muslim and non-Muslim, consume this media. The book brings together different perspectives to provide insights into the representation--and misrepresentation--of Islam and Muslims today
