In this special edition from the International Islamophobia Conference, NewsHour with Guy Shone explores how media organisations can confront rising anti-Muslim hate. TRT World Research Centre Director Dr Tarek Cherkaoui and French journalist-filmmaker Jean-Michel Brun offer candid insights into the role of journalism, technology, and education in challenging bias. Dr Cherkaoui reflects on how artificial intelligence, while promising, often inherits online prejudice—posing fresh ethical dilemmas for newsrooms striving to balance speed with integrity. Jean-Michel Brun, meanwhile, shares a compelling case study on secularism in France, explaining how deeply embedded narratives fuel misunderstanding and discrimination. Both guests call for investment in media literacy, content production, and structural support for marginalised communities, urging Muslim-majority countries to play an active role. From Wikipedia battles to media ethics, this discussion uncovers the nuanced fight against Islamophobia—and the responsibilities journalists must shoulder. A call for facts over propaganda, mentorship over sensationalism, and truth over silence.
