Most common discourses used about Muslims in the British press for the past decade has associated Islam/Muslims with threats, problems or in opposition to dominant British values. Former tabloid reporters confirm that editors force journalists to fabricate news denigrating Muslims and immigrants.

This undermines cohesion, alienates minorities, and fuels violence.

The last decade has seen an exponential rise in anti-Muslim hate crimes, including violent assaults - and 1 in 3 Britons agree the media is "whipping up a climate of fear of Islam in the UK".

We the undersigned insist that Islamophobia and racism in the British media are an unacceptable affront to democratic principles and British values. We demand that the press be held accountable for irresponsible reporting which demonizes faith and ethnic communities wholesale.

The persistent reports of manufactured narratives continue to validate why this challenge remains necessary. I am currently documenting specific instances of unethical journalism to present alongside the signatures we have gathered. This process requires patience as we prepare a formal assessment of these media practices.

The momentum behind this initiative reflects a growing refusal to accept the marginalization of our neighbors through biased reporting. This shift in the public conversation indicates a widespread demand for accountability and integrity within the media landscape.
