The majority of articles containing Coptic population figures were not published in several major English-language newspapers until after 1956. Articles in newspapers such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Toronto Star illustrate the varying tendencies of journalists in their presentation of figures.  In comparison to the CAPMAS figures, many use exaggerated percentages to support the content of their article, which was usually an agenda pushing for Coptic rights or to highlight persecution.  There is little evidence of a Muslim reaction to such reporting on Arabic sites on the Internet, but some make the argument that the percentages are much lower--the same point that some English-language journalists have chosen to make.  The article with its incorporated table displays the trends in English-language print reporting, showing that though the actual percentage of Copts continues to decline, the percentages offered in the media remain about the same.
