“…In line with Muchtar et al's [12] definition, this research surmised that the brand of Islamic journalism practiced by voa-islam.com and Republika reported the 2019 Indonesian presidential election in catering to the Muslim voters; akin to the ummat concept. The focus of reporting can be denominated to the objectification of political and societal issues, as forewarned by Arifuddin [13], but from a Muslim perspective that caters to the protection and promotion of Islamic interests.…”

This research analyzed 50 keywords using the aid of NVIVO, sampled from two Indonesian media sites practicing Islamic journalism, to study the relationship between the focus of reporting on the 2019 Indonesian presidential election and its politically oriented journalistic roles. One of the media, voa-islam.com, has been involved in polarizing voters by their faith using an 'us and them' frame. Through content analysis, this research has quantified the political function of the media in question to be rooted in the promotion of one candidate more closely related with hardline Islamic groups; over the other. On the other hand, the more mainstream media, Republika, has proven itself more impartial and objective, although still denominating issues to an Islamic perspective for its Muslim majority audience. Consequently, this research suggests that there needs to be greater policing of journalistic frames applied in the media.

“…With that in mind, this research defines Islamic journalism simply as a brand of journalism that is guided not by West-oriented journalistic values. Instead, Islamic journalism is a school of thought in journalism that practices journalistic principles and produces journalistic content based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah [12].…”

“…This is especially noteworthy when looking at Tunisia, which might be subsumed in the Western imaginary within the rubric of ‘the Muslim world’. While Muchtar et al (2017) found some evidence of an interventionist ‘Islamic perspective to journalism’ in their study of Muslim-majority countries, they also found that journalists’ roles were shaped more by the local political, economic, and socio-cultural context.…”

A decade after the Jasmine Revolution ushered in the Arab Spring, Tunisia remains a bright spot for democratic reform and press freedom in the Middle East and North Africa. However, this transition is still tentative, and the reforms remain fragile. This study examines Tunisian journalism students ( N = 193) to understand their motivations for earning a degree in the field and how they conceptualize journalism’s role in society. By studying Tunisian journalism students’ motivations for entering this transforming field, and how those students perceive their pre-professional roles, we may gain a glimpse into how they are internalizing the lessons of the revolution. The results of this survey showed that students emphasized social responsibility motivations for studying journalism. Participants most strongly valued the role of journalists in promoting tolerance and cultural diversity, educating the audience, letting people express their views, reporting things as they are, and supporting national development. These results suggest that Tunisian students view their work as assuming monitorial and interventionist roles.

“…The Islamic faith is based on the two primary sources: the Qur'an, which Muslims believe to be the direct word of God and the Sunnah, which includes the traditions, Islamic customs, and religious practices concerning the life example of the Prophet Muhammad (Abdullah & Nadvi, 2011;Muchtar, Hamada, Hanitzsch, Galal, Masduki, & Ullah, 2017). Both these main sources of Islamic worldview encourage using reason and rationality as a basic means to protect oneself from falsehood, inaccuracy, and evil doing (Muchtar et. al, 2017).…”

Niqab –as a Symbol of Resistance: Muslim Women’s Experiences With the Face Veil

Niqab, the practice of veiling the face, is adopted by a small percentage of Muslim women in Canada, yet it is the most controversial piece of clothing. Such a practice is stereotypically seen as ‘backwards’, unwarranted, and forced. Some will even go as far as declaring the religious practice as “un-Canadian”– demanding a public ban. But for Muslim women, the Niqab means so much more and it can be defined in many ways. This MRP is a narrative analysis of three Niqabi experiences of this Islamic practice. With Islam as the worldview or lens for this research, these three stories serve as ‘counter narratives’, showing Niqab as a symbol of resistance, power and choice. They also serve as education for those seeking to better support and understand Niqab. In the words of one scholar thinking about this moment during COVID-19, of veiling the face, it might be that “We are all Niqabis now.” Key Words: Niqab, face veil, face-veil, Burqa, Hijab, Muslim, Muslim women, Islam, resiliency, resilient, niqab ban, burqa ban, COVID-19, Coronavirus, pandemic, Islamophobia, 9/11
