Conclusions
On an average,the English mainstream media reported about 46.25 news
articles per incident of attack on Christian places of worship whereas it
reported a mere 2.02 news articles per incident of attack on Hindu places of
worship
Further, the 46.25 reports per incident related to attacks on a Christian place of
worship had approximately 80 oblique references to the BJP, Narendra Modi,
parliament debate, elections, Ghar-Wapsi. However such oblique references
were rarely found in reports related to attacks on temples.
According to the concept of secularism as commonly defined and understood,
the Indian English mainstream media should ensure that its reportage remains
religion-neutral. Unfortunately, as our analysis shows,the 46:2 ratio of its
reportage on attacks on places of worship of Christians to those of Hindus
doesn’t pass this religion-neutral test by any standards. Therefore, there is
very little evidence to show that the mainstream English media is reporting
news based on the spirit of secularism it claims it adheres to.
The same ratio also shows that our mainstream English media is being
significantly selective and therefore unfair in its coverage.
Highlighting a very tiny number of incidents of Church attacks and giving it
frequent and repeated coverage while downplaying the real fact of repeated
attacks against temples (almost one temple attack per day), certainly lends
itself to the conclusion that the media is indeed creating, shaping, and pushing
a false narrative.
