CfMM report over two-year period says channel’s ‘negative’ focus on Islam borders on an ‘obsession’
GB News accounted for half of all news broadcast coverage of Muslims over a two-year period, much of it negative, according to new analysis.
The findings demonstrate an “excessive” focus on Muslims bordering on an “obsession”, according to a new report by the Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM). Researchers alleged the stories about Islam are “overwhelmingly negative” and fail to understand the diverse nature of Muslim communities in the UK. They said the coverage could fuel community tensions and contribute to civil unrest. Sayeeda Warsi described the research as “shocking”, while former ITN executive and Ofcom regulator, Stewart Purvis, said the findings raised vital questions for the broadcasting regulator
The two-year analysis found that GB News mentioned Muslims or Islam more than 17,000 times in its output, which they say accounted for almost 50% of total mentions on UK news channels. BBC News and Sky News accounted for 32% and 21% respectively. The report found that GB News was particularly focused on domestic stories on these topics in comparison with its rival channels, where foreign news contributed a greater amount to their output.
