Powerful concentrations of mass media in the hands of Western countries are believed to shape lasting picture of Islam and Muslims, most of reflecting the interest of the society served by the media.

However the complexities and dynamics of global news reporting have weakened those arguments. This is because transnational news services, such as BBC World News (BBCWN), CNN International (CNNI) AND Al Jazeera English (AJE), are believed to represent competing paradigms and different approaches to news.

In addition, through communications cross-traffic in today’s global media, varieties of views and voice are thought to enter the frame and challenge the dominate common senses in the realm of public discourse.This book is an inquiry into a comparative analysis between BBCWN and AJE.
