"Since the end of the Cold War, much media attention has focused on Islam as a disruption in the global order. Reporting Islam is a timely look at the ways in which Muslims are represented in British news media. Elizabeth Poole examines newspapers and actual accounts from readers, to explore how Muslims are demonized by the press."--Publisher description.
