Abstract
Abstract This study analyzes media representations of Islam and Muslims in the New York Times news articles six months before and after 9/11 to ascertain if and how post-9/11 representations changed. Similar studies have used quantitative methods to record the number of positive, negative, and neutral words, sentences, or tone in articles, editorials, or headlines to document a “positive” or “neutral” trend. Their statistical data notwithstanding, these studies overlook the contextual properties of discourse, which this study foregrounds through Teun A. van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive Discourse Analysis. The article’s triangular approach analyzes the discursive, social, and cognitive features of the selected news articles to argue that while both pre- and post-9/11 articles reflect varying degrees of bias, the latter becomes more apparent in the post-9/11 period.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is a peer reviewed research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information. Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious and responsible manner.
