'Muslims in the European Mediascape' Research Project

The Institute for Strategic Dialogue in London in partnership with the Vodafone Foundation Germany and the British Council will conduct the 'Muslims in the European Mediascape' Research Project, and will explore the complexity of media use in an ever-diverse Europe. The research will take an in-depth look at identifying relationships between social cohesion and trends in the use and production of media in view of key variables, including socio economic background, education, gender, ethnicity, religion, generation, personal and private inter-cultural relationships, and age.

Since February 2010 this three-year project, which is looking to include over 1000 interviews with Muslims and non-Muslims in France, the UK and Germany, will also investigate diversity of media production and programming and its relationship to inter-community attitudes. The project will begin by creating a uniquely comprehensive documentation of radio, print, television and Internet media outlets targeted at, produced by and significantly consumed by Muslim audiences in Europe to be placed on a web platform.
