| Summary: | 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. |
