Book Description
This special issue of the Journal of Media and Religion looks at how religion is framed when it is thrust into the public realm through mediated coverage of a particular event. The first article examines how the public debate about teaching evolution was framed by the press in Tennessee. The next article discusses framing of news stories about Mormons during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. The final article applies Silk's unsecular media hypothesis to coverage of the Jesse Jackson infidelity scandal. Each of these articles uncovers new issues and insights about the framing of religion news. The editors hope that they will become important points of departure for theorization on this important topic. Future research will benefit from the analyses presented by these authors.

Reporting News about Religion
Author: Judith M. Buddenbaum
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell
ISBN: 9780813829777
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Religion. It's the greatest story never told -- or at least rarely told well. Though second only to education in the public's ranking of importance, religion reporting tends to turn up last in audience satisfaction. Reporting News About Religion takes aim at all the special challenges and difficulties that make this so. Geared to print and broadcast journalists, the book provides substantive information about religion and practical advice about covering religion stories thoroughly and sensitively. Buddenbaum divides her overview into three parts: the background information journalists need in order to understand religion and its role in American culture; the place of religion in the media, audience interests, and the implications of various practices concerning the definition, organization, and assignment of religion news; and reporting and writing techniques such as sourcing, story framing, and language use that can be especially problematic in the value-laden realm of religion reporting. Firmly grounded in the social sciences and in an appreciation of the protection given to all religions by the First Amendment, this book avoids the pitfalls and biases of most accounts of religion news. It features an annotated list of readings that will further inform students and journalists, as well as specific sources for information about a broad range of religions and religious organizations.

The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media
Author: Diane Winston
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195395069
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 632
Book Description
"Whether the issue is the rise of religiously inspired terrorism, the importance of faith based NGOs in global relief and development, or campaigning for evangelical voters in the U.S., religion proliferates in our newspapers and magazines, on our radios and televisions, on our computer screens and, increasingly, our mobile devices. Americans who assumed society was becoming more and more secular have been surprised by religions' rising visibility and central role in current events. Yet this is hardly new: the history of American journalism has deep religious roots, and religion has long been part of the news mix. Providing a wide-ranging examination of how religion interacts with the news by applying the insights of history, sociology, and cultural studies to an analysis of media, faith, and the points at which they meet, The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media is the go-to volume for both secular and religious journalists and journalism educators, scholars in media studies, journalism studies, religious studies, and American studies. Divided into five sections, this handbook explores the historical relationship between religion and journalism in the USA, how religion is covered in different media, how different religions are reported on, the main narratives of religion coverage, and the religious press."--Publisher's website.

News and Novela in Brazilian Media
Author: Tania Cantrell Rosas-Moreno
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739189794
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
Citizens everywhere are turning to multiple news sources to inform their daily decisions. In Brazil, an emerging global power and democracy, those sources include the ever-popular telenovelas and, on a rising basis, newspapers. News and Novela in Brazilian Media: Fact, Fiction, and National Identity examines how news issues help frame telenovela plots, comparing key issues across Brazilian media to highlight differing levels of progression associated with press freedom. Scrutiny of concurrent print news stories, print news photos, and telenovela scenes indicate that when a hit telenovela is compared to news, the novela becomes a more progressive storyteller. At least, race, class, gender, and religious news issues seem more progressive: An Afro-Brazilian wins a local election; a favela or shantytown is idealized; a less popular African religion is heralded while Protestantism is marginalized and Catholicism continues as the right religion; and women achieving power leads to a more egalitarian society. In a diversifying media environment, where lines between fact and fiction are increasingly blurred, Brazilian alternative news studies are critical measures of Brazil’s state of media opening that inform national identity formation.

Imagining Judeo-Christian America
Author: K. Healan Gaston
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022666399X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
“Judeo-Christian” is a remarkably easy term to look right through. Judaism and Christianity obviously share tenets, texts, and beliefs that have strongly influenced American democracy. In this ambitious book, however, K. Healan Gaston challenges the myth of a monolithic Judeo-Christian America. She demonstrates that the idea is not only a recent and deliberate construct, but also a potentially dangerous one. From the time of its widespread adoption in the 1930s, the ostensible inclusiveness of Judeo-Christian terminology concealed efforts to promote particular conceptions of religion, secularism, and politics. Gaston also shows that this new language, originally rooted in arguments over the nature of democracy that intensified in the early Cold War years, later became a marker in the culture wars that continue today. She argues that the debate on what constituted Judeo-Christian—and American—identity has shaped the country’s religious and political culture much more extensively than previously recognized.

The Mediatization of Culture and Society
Author: Stig Hjarvard
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136580441
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Mediatization has emerged as a key concept to reconsider old, yet fundamental questions about the role and influence of media in culture and society. In particular the theory of mediatization has proved fruitful for the analysis of how media spread to, become intertwined with, and influence other social institutions and cultural phenomena like politics, play and religion. This book presents a major contribution to the theoretical understanding of the mediatization of culture and society. This is supplemented by in-depth studies of: The mediatization of politics: From party press to opinion industry; The mediatization of religion: From the faith of the church to the enchantment of the media; The mediatization of play: From bricks to bytes; The mediatization of habitus: The social character of a new individualism. Mediatization represents a new social condition in which the media have emerged as an important institution in society at the same time as they have become integrated into the very fabric of social and cultural life. Making use of a broad conception of the media as technologies, institutions and aesthetic forms, Stig Hjarvard considers how characteristics of both old and new media come to influence human interaction, social institutions and cultural imaginations.
