British media coverage of Muslims is almost entirely authored by outsiders to that community

Evidence

Well, [the media] just sees Muslims as if they are not people like us. We will talk about them. We won’t talk to them. We won’t listen to them. Of all we know about British Muslims, of all this country knows about British Muslims, 99.9% [sic] of it is either reported or written by white people. So, the perspective on their lives is a completely outsider perspective. — Nadia Haq, ‘The National Media Just Sees Muslims…, 36

Categorization

• SHARE: The 99.9% figure from an anonymous broadsheet journalist is a striking stat to send to anyone working on newsroom diversity.
• QUESTION: Is the 99.9% claim verifiable? Would be worth chasing against byline-level data on British Muslim journalists in national press.
