BEYOND THE INCIDENT: OUTCOMES FOR VICTIMS OF ANTI-MUSLIM PREJUDICE
This is the 2017 annual report by Tell MAMA. Tell MAMA (which stands for 'Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks') is a British organisation that offers a secure and reliable service that allows people from across England to report any form of Anti-Muslim abuse. This report specifically spends time talking about the media, and highlights key mistakes made and also offers suggestions for a more inclusive media environment.
HOW THE BRITISH MEDIA REPORTS TERRORISM
The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) released a report in August 202 which found that media coverage of terrorism has been consistently inconsistent, albeit with recent improvements following the Christchurch attack in which Brenton Tarrant killed 51 Muslim worshippers. CfMM analysed over 230,000 articles published in 31 national online media outlets to show the inconsistencies in the coverage of terrorist attacks, depending on the background of the perpetrator.

DEFINING ISLAMOPHOBIA

GENDERED ANTI-MUSLIM HATRED AND ISLAMOPHOBIA
This is the 2018 interim report by Tell MAMA, and is based on anti-Muslim reports made between January to June 2018. It found that two-thirds of verified anti-Muslim and Islamophobic incidents occurred offline, or on a street-level. Of these street level incidents, 58% were targeted towards women. The report also looked at incidents of online anti-Muslim hate speech.
