41. Author: Susan Schenk Title: The Image of Islam on International Television: A Comparison of the News Channels Al Jazeera English, BBC World and CNN International Publisher: Frank & Timme, Germany Year: 2009 Language: German
Description: In this book, the author compares the coverage of Islam and Islamic issues on three global news channels: two from the Western world, BBC World and CNN International and one from the Middle East, Al Jazeera media network. Al Jazeera English is the first English-language news channel in the Middle East, which can be received across the world via satellite. From its inception, it has sought to challenge western perspectives and provide an alternative view of global events. Based on the channel’s coverage of Islam, this book examines whether this self-image of Al Jazeera English is actually reflected in content. Over a period of three months, 707 news reports from the three channels were compared, revealing topics and stereotypes in their coverage of Islam. 42.
