Samenvatting

In Covering Muslims, Erik Bleich and A. Maurits van der Veen conclusively show that newspaper articles touching on Muslims are strikingly negative. They use cutting-edge techniques from computational social science to prove that articles that mention Muslims are far more negative than comparable stories related to Catholics, Jews, Hindus, African Americans, Latinos, Mormons, or atheists. The results examine how media outlets may contribute to pervasive Islamophobia, and encourages readers and journalists to "tone check" the media rather than simply accepting negative associations with Muslims or other marginalized groups.
