      note          = "The mass media play a key role in defining society’s
                       beliefs. Moreover, the existence of Islamophobia in Spain
                       is real. As a consequence, Muslims, particularly North
                       African immigrants, suffer the most with rejection from
                       native citizens. This work is carried out as an analysis of
                       various discursive tactics used by the Spanish national
                       newspapers El País and La Razon, in 2013. We reveal that
                       through a range of a biased selection of themes and
                       sources, guised through a combination of techniques such as
                       sensational headlines, a negative stereotype of the Islamic
                       population is created. Via these means, the media propels
                       an image of the Muslim people that Spanish society accepts,
                       evidencing the close relationship between media content and
                       Islamophobia.",
