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.
