“…Existing research on media coverage of immigration points to a few key specific issues within the theme of immigration that receive particularly high attention in many countries: the economy, crime/security, and government policymaking (Balch & Balabanova, 2011;Caviedes, 2015;Entman, 1992Entman, , 1994Kaye, 2001;Matthews & Brown, 2012;Poole, 2006;Powell, 2011;Quinsaat, 2014;Romer, Jamieson, & de Coteau, 1998). We thus expect similar issues to appear in the news about immigration in the United Kingdom, but we also contend that there is likely to be variation in the emphasis of these issues over time.…”

This study investigates the causes of fluctuations in public concern about immigration and contends that issues emphasized in media coverage explain these fluctuations. Drawing on agenda-setting research and theories about issue attributes, it is argued that media emphasis on aspects of immigration that are likely to be unobtrusive but with potentially concrete consequences for the public is likely to raise concern about immigration far more than unobtrusive but abstract issues. The analysis, based on public opinion data and newspaper articles on the topic of immigration to the United Kingdom, shows that press emphasis on two unobtrusive but concrete issues within the theme of immigration-the economy and education-appears to increase concern about immigration; emphasis on more abstract issues evokes little reaction from the British public.

“…Existing studies point out to a general tendency for negative representation of groups usually characterised as the 'others' of the mainstream society (Brooks & Hébert, 2006;Erjavec, 2001;KhosraviNik, 2010). Islam and Muslim immigrants, in particular, are structurally portrayed through negative imagery in many Western media outlets (Bullock & Jafri, 2000;Kabir, 2007;Poole, 2006;Shadid & van Koningsveld, 2002). Especially after 9/11, the media discourse on Islam has been dominated by associations with terrorism and essential 'otherness' of the Muslims (Morey & Yaqin, 2011).…”

This article provides an overview of the discourses on Dutch mosque education. Based on a review of the scholarly debates on mosque education in West, we conducted a qualitative content analysis of newspaper articles containing references to mosque education between 2010 and 2016 (N = 45). The data are sampled from the five largest Dutch newspapers. Most of the themes emerging from the literature are also reflected in the discourses on mosque education in the press. In line with other media analysis on representation of Muslims, the portrayal of mosque education in the Dutch press is also mainly negative. The key issues in the press portrayals included use of corporal punishment, inadequate training of imams, reinforcement of conservative gender norms, intensification of social segregation, links with religious extremism and local opposition to mosques. Fewer references concern the positive influence of mosque education on cognitive skills and identity development of the Muslim children.
