The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media

Once relegated to the private sphere, or confined to its own section of the newspaper, religion is now a major part of daily news coverage. Every journalist needs a basic knowledge of religion to cover everything from presidential elections to the war in Iraq to the ethical issues raised by latest developments in media research. The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media will be the go-to volume for both secular and religious journalists and
journalism educators, scholars in medical studies, journalism studies, religious studies, and American studies.
