Media Perceptions of Religious Changes in Australia

Of Dominance and Diversity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the contradiction between the news coverage of religion and its apparent decline according to census data. Based on media research in Australia, it demonstrates that media discussions overlook the diversity that exists within religions and offer a very limited understanding of religion.
