At \u003ci\u003eSabili\u003c\/i\u003e, established as an underground publication, journalists are hired for their ability at \u003ci\u003edakwah\u003c\/i\u003e, or Islamic propagation. At \u003ci\u003eTempo\u003c\/i\u003e, a news magazine banned during the Soeharto regime and considered progressive, many see their work as a manifestation of worship, but the publication itself is not considered Islamic. At \u003ci\u003eHarakah\u003c\/i\u003e, reporters support an Islamic political party, while at \u003ci\u003eRepublika\u003c\/i\u003e they practice a “journalism of the Prophet” and see Islam as a market niche. Other news organizations, too, such as \u003ci\u003eMalaysiakini\u003c\/i\u003e, employ Muslim journalists. Steele, a longtime scholar of the region, explores how these publications observe universal principles of journalism through an Islamic idiom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55179671470454,"sku":"9780295742960","price":34.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_41658301_9c467c03-c36d-4634-8963-60ebc3c7b45b.jpg?v=1781787159","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780295742960-mediating-islam","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
