The problem of marginality in public debates: evidence from The Guardian's Charlie Hebdo coverage

Who gets to have a voice in the public debate? Using The Guardian's coverage of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack, Andrea Felicetti and Pietro Castelli Gattinara find that women and religious groups, in particular Muslims, had limited visibility; while actors challenging the dominant securitisation narrative were similarly neglected. They conclude that greater attention must be paid to this problem of marginality in democratic systems.
