MAGIC starts mapping gendered islamophobia in Belgian and Spanish newspapers

posted on

MAGIC has gathered in a Multi-Actor Benchmarking Lab several journalists, professors of journalism, representatives of media associations, Muslim communities’ representatives, particularly women, and representatives of civil society organisations working on diversity to elaborate a detailed methodology to conduct quantitative and qualitative analyses of 3 Spanish and 3 Belgian newspapers.

The project is already monitoring gendered islamophobia in 3 Spanish newspapers and 3 Belgian newspapers and it will do so on the basis of the agreed methodology. 

During the Multi-Actor Benchmarking Lab, MAGIC also addressed the activities that will involve over 180 participants with the aim to ultimately build the MAGIC Coalition, which will play a crucial role in disseminating the project’s results as well as preventing, reporting, acting against & raising awareness of gendered Islamophobia in public narratives and in promoting inclusiveness of Muslim voices in the media beyond the geographical and time scope of the project. MAGIC Coalition is intended to become a permanent platform to address gradual Islamophobia across Europe.
