Mediatization of Religion

The Mediatization of Religion presents data which suggests that the presence and influence of religion in public affairs around the world has been strongly supported by the use of media communication and highlights the way some religions have adopted media communication and drawn on popular culture to build their message. The book offers a number of case studies and contemporary examples to illustrate the theory and will be essential reading for all students and scholars of media politics and all those interested in the part religion plays in our society.
