NaRRaTiVe

the narrative plays a important part in the representation of islam-

looking particualry at=

* language used in reports focusing on powerful words in particular.

* tone of the report

* mode of adress

* headlines and captions.

the "terrorist" reporting also follows the narrative of propps characters allocation, the " villian" and the "hero" as the west !
