MAGIC has been monitoring and mapping for 15 months the journalistic narratives of three Belgian newspapers (Le Soir, el Dernière Heure, Het Laatste Nieuws) and three Spanish newspapers (El País, ABC, La Razón).
The newspapers have been analysed in terms of the presence and number of articles written about and by Muslim women, the visuals, and the type of wording used. The results of quantitative and qualitative analysis have been also discussed at national cross-perception consultations, gathering representatives of the project´s target groups.
In this publication, MAGIC offers a comparison between the results found in each country and underlines that if some patterns are to be found in Spain and Belgium these would surely be found in other European countries.
