The Muslim Council of Great Britain is to launch a campaign in Parliament for fairer media coverage later.
The council said there was "a serious problem" with the way the UK media reported on Islam and Muslims.
It looked at more than 10,000 articles and TV clips from the last three months of 2018, and said 59% of print articles linked Muslims with negative behaviour.
The study was not open to academic scrutiny but its methodology was analysed by a linguistics analyst.
It covered most major national titles and news television programmes, plus TV drama.
