Progressive anti-Islamophobia media spans print, radio, television, and documentaries
Evidence
The collocates show the association of Islamophobia with racism and other forms of group-based antipathy, such as antisemitism, homophobia, sexism and xenophobia. The collocates also show how Islamophobia is reported as increasing, with ‘rampant’, ‘rise’, ‘risen’ and ‘upsurge’ appearing in the first corpus and ‘rife’, ‘virulent’ and ‘tide’ appearing in the second. Islamophobia appears as taking institutional form in the first corpus, presumably relating to the second report published in 2004, where the term ‘institutional Islamophobia’ was coined (Runnymede Trust 2004). — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 630 (

Karim H. Karim identifies the existence of certain recurring frames: “a set of journalistic narratives on ‘Muslim terrorism’ ” that “help shape the cognitive scripts for reporting acts of terrorism.” These frames determine the way events are rendered and influence how they are perceived by audiences. Richard Flanagan’s novel The Unknown Terrorist is concerned with the utility of just such news media frames and also how they are open to manipulation and extension. Their ubiquity and dissemination in a globalized media landscape testify to a practical concern for what certain types of story are worth in a market. In the case of Muslims and terror, this becomes, in effect, a market for Islamophobia. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 354 (

During the Trump administration, fake news assumed a significant role in public life, and new dynamics came into play so that the boundary between primary and secondary definers was blurred. Illegitimate news sites proliferated. In 2020, QAnon became a primary definer and source of news and information among certain segments of the population. Moreover, the primary definers do not all speak with a single voice even if they agree on the general premise that a war on terror, out of proportion to the actual threat presented by Islamists who turn to political violence, is necessary. Anti-Muslim racism manifests in reactionary, conservative, and liberal forms; all are articulated in the corporate media. — Deepa Kumar, Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire, 751 (
