TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Charlie Hebdo: differences in corporate and alternative media coverage JO - Journal of Muslim minority affairs A1 - Beshara, Robert K. SP - 132 EP - 138 VL - 38 IS - 1 N2 - In the following mini-study, quantitative content analysis was used to investigate differences in the United States print media's coverage of the Charlie Hebdo shooting. Four articles were analyzed, two from the corporate media and two from independent sources. The four articles did not disagree on the existence of terrorism, but they differed in terms of their assumptions regarding the cause(s) of terrorism as well as in terms of how the terrorist subject is configured discursively. Blaming Islam in general, or all Muslims, in relation to terrorist acts perpetrated by a few criminals can have drastic results, such as Islamophobia.
