Spiritual News (eBook, ePUB)

Reporting Religion Around the World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The media's coverage of religion is an important question for academic researchers, given the central role which news media play in ensuring that people are up-to-date with religion news developments. Not only is there a lack of treatment of the subject in other countries, but there is also the absence of comparative study on news and religion. A key question is how the media, the political system, the religions themselves, the culture, and the economy influence how religion is reported in different countries. Spiritual News: Reporting Religion Around the World is intended to fill this gap. The book is divided into six parts: an introductory section; the newsgathering process; religion reporting in different regions; media events concerning religion; political and social change and the role of religion news; future trends.

Rezensionen

"Cohen has accomplished much in bringing us new and understudied regions and topics. Scholars will welcome these variations, whilst students will appreciate a diverse collection of essays that gives a good picture of the dynamic field of religion and journalism." (Michael B. Munnik, Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture, 8/2019)
