We’re happy to see Engage produce this very useful media checklist which not only documents for British Muslims the most widely read media and comment websites but also gives clear guidance on how to quickly complain to regulatory bodies such as OfCom, something which must be done if we are not to let those media sources with a clear anti-Muslim agenda get away with it scot-free.

The document guides you on how to make the most effective use of your time on the internet and to ensure that you comment as frequently as possible on well-read websites. They have also included a ‘2 minute complaint system’ for you to action should you object to a story. This monitoring checklist is the first of its kind and will ultimately God willing lead to more balanced reporting on the Muslim community and hence much less Islamophobia. All the media websites in this document are hyperlinked for your ease.

What to do now?

• Copy this guide on to your computer’s desktop. Visit the websites listed in the document as frequently as possible (at least 3 times a week). Comment on articles wherever possible.
• Whenever you see anything objectionable, us the hyperlinks to quickly complain.
• Forward this media checklist to all your contacts. Media outlets have to take notice when large numbers of people complain about an unfair news item.
