Editorial framing of Islam varies by newspaper’s national and social context.

Evidence

The study’s findings demonstrated that whereas open themes and frames concerning Islam were more apparent in Express Tribune and The National, closed themes and frames that fostered anti-Islamic sentiment were more apparent in the editorials of Daily News and The Toronto Sun. However, Times of India and The Guardian showed a greater frequency of neutral frames. — Muhammad Asad Latif, The Identity of Religion Always Comes Up, 97

Categorization

  • XREF: Pakistan-based papers (Express Tribune, The National) framing Islam more openly than Canadian tabloids (Toronto Sun) complicates simple East-West binaries.
  • QUESTION: Does the Persian Gulf ownership of The National confound the ‘national social context’ explanation?
