Abstract
This study attempts to present a summary of the research conducted on representation of Islam and Muslims in Australian media particularly and in Western media generally. The research aims to present a review on the findings along with theoretical and methodological approaches employed in different studies to analyze the discourses being generated by the news media regarding Islam and Muslims. Drawing on various approaches and methodologies like Fairclough’s Intertextuality, Foucault’s approach of power and knowledge, Said’s Orientalism, critical discourse analysis, and Van Dijk’s ideological square, earlier research provides an evidence of frequent production of discourses regarding Islam and Muslims as inferior, terrorism, threat, exotic, and as negative Other. Key Words: Muslims, Islam, Other, Representation, Discourse, Ideological Square
