The representation of homosexuals in Arabic-language news outlets

What is it about?

This study examines the most frequent countries and prevalent discourses in the context of homosexuality in the headlines of Arabic-language media outlets. The analysis showed that the countries whose laws criminalize homosexuals were more frequent than those seen to be supportive of homosexuals. The findings revealed that homosexuals are under-covered in the Arab media, and whenever they are present in the news reports, they are depicted negatively.
