摘要
伊斯兰教在媒体中的表现一直是媒体学者广泛讨论的问题。在马来西亚的背景下,伊斯兰教经常与政治问题或宗教当局对任何组织或个人采取的行动引起的冲突联系在一起,引发公众辩论。政府还被指控利用伊斯兰教作为霸权工具,通过将宗教作为获得权力和维持现状的政治武器,继续支配下层阶级的思维方式。报纸,特别是政府所有的报纸,为了维持特定的社会秩序,有一定的意识形态要传达给公众。这导致新闻媒体经常讨论有关伊斯兰教的有争议的问题,并与拥有报纸的人的既得利益相结合。然而,在数字新闻门户网站出现后,涉及伊斯兰教问题的讨论变得更加大胆,这些门户网站使霸权主义的反对意见能够在上述媒体的成员之间广泛讨论。因此,本研究的目的是探讨伊斯兰教和穆斯林如何在马来西亚的网络报纸中被代表。选取了两份英文在线报纸,即The Star online和Malaysiakini。通过定量和定性的内容分析,本研究的结果表明,伊斯兰教、伊斯兰政党和马来西亚的一些穆斯林被网络报纸描绘成极端主义者和倒退者。关键词:伊斯兰表现,马来西亚媒体,网络报纸,伊斯兰教,内容分析
“Beer is Haram!” Representation of Islam by Online Newspapers in Malaysia on the Issue of Better Beer Festival & Oktoberfest
The representation of Islam in the media has been widely discussed by media scholars. In the Malaysian context, Islam is frequently associated with conflicts resulting from political issues or actions taken by religious authorities against any organisation or individual that sparks public debate. The government is also alleged to use Islam as a hegemonic tool to continue dominating the mindset of the lower class by using religion as a political weapon to gain power and maintain the status quo. Newspapers especially those owned by the government have certain ideologies to convey to the general public in order to maintain a specific existing social order. This causes the controversial issues pertaining to Islam to be frequently discussed in the news media in tandem with the vested interest of those owning the newspapers. However, the discourse on issues involving Islam has become more daring after the emergence of digital news portals that enable hegemonic counterarguments to be discussed widely among members in the mentioned medium. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore how Islam and Muslims are represented in online newspapers in Malaysia. Two samples from English-language online newspapers, namely The Star Online and Malaysiakini, were selected. By using quantitative and qualitative content analysis, the findings of this study show that Islam, Islamic political parties, and some Muslims in Malaysia have been represented as extremists and backwards by online newspapers. Keywords: Representation of Islam, Malaysian media, online newspapers, Islam, content analysis.
