Really proud to have officially launched the MCB's Centre for Media Monitoring (@cfmmuk) & our 5-person team at Parliament yesterday, strengthening our work from not just monitoring accuracy but also bias against Islam & Muslims.

What's great is the approach we have taken: evidence-based and rigorous research based on over 10,000 articles & over 1,300 clips, assessing each against a methodology supported by one of the top academics in the field of linguistics, Paul Baker.
Yet the Managing Editor of the Sun & Editor-in-chief of the Express spoke at our launch, and the Managing Editors of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday attended the launch.

Our credibility and evidence-based approach has made a real impact & many are asking how to improve.
Do have a look at our website (cfmm.org.uk) and follow us on Twitter @cfmmuk.

There is a serious problem in the reporting of Islam & Muslims in sections of the media.

Together, we can help promote change for the better.
Thanks to the host @NazShahBfd & the speakers @YasminQureshiMP (APPG on Religion & Media), Baroness @SayeedaWarsi, Bishop @CottrellStephen & @ShahinSadafi (@GrenfellUnited)

(as well as the Managing Editor of The Sun, Paul Clarkson & the Editor-in-Chief of the Express Gary Jones)
