It examines how the Jewish religion and the Jewish People have been influenced by the media and the media age. In order to understand contemporary Jewish identity in the twentieth and twenty-first century, one needs to go beyond the Synagogue, Jewish customs and law (halakhah) and the holy days to incorporate such modern phenomena as mass media and their impact upon Jewish existence. The book seeks to provide a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read text, examining the manifold interactions between Jewish religious identity and mass media. 

      As a religious system influenced by news values and mass media inputs, Mediated Judaism is necessarily influenced by the market forces of news values. Much in religion is not newsworthy. Much in religion does not concern such newsworthy elements as social conflict or elites. Religious belief, often drawing upon the sub-conscious, does not fit such criteria of newsworthiness. Religion-related items that do get defined as news do not stay for long upon the news agenda but are replaced  by what else is happening in the news agenda at any particular time.

SPIRITUAL NEWS:

Reporting Religion Around the World


Yoel Cohen (editor)



     The media{\textquoteright}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. The book 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.
