A Democratic Approach to Religion News

Christianity and Islam in the British and Turkish Press

Beschreibung

This book introduces the first systematic and unified four-dimension democratic approach to newspaper religion reporting. It explores the coverage of faith, with a particular focus on Christianity and Islam, in the British and Turkish national press. The results of framing analysis, conducted through content analysis of 1,022 news articles, reveal that, in both countries, alongside the contrasting portrayals of the minority religions, even the dominant religions had a disproportioned employment of the four dimensions - spiritual, world life, political, and conflict. It contributes to scholarship not only empirically but also theoretically and methodologically, with its theoretical and methodological contribution surpassing its empirical findings. As such, it will transcend geographical and temporal boundaries, making it appealing and relevant to an international audience of academics, professionals, and students in the fields of journalism, religion, democracy, media, communication, society, and culture, as well as individuals from various backgrounds.

Rezensionen

"This book will benefit journalism studies scholars interested in religion and religious studies scholars who are intrigued by the ways that journalism can impact how global faiths are perceived in democratic societies. It will also benefit practitioners who want to add depth to their reporting of world faiths and their adherents." (Will T. Mari, Newspaper Research Journal, Vol. 45 (4), 2024)
