Críticas

'At a time when religion is ever more prominent in national and international events, it is important for the public to understand it in all its complexity. The news media are central to this, and this fine volume details well the breadth and depth of the task these media face in meeting this challenge.' Stewart M. Hoover, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA 'What's the current state of the relationship between religion and the news media in Britain? This series of informative and entertaining chapters by experts from both worlds tells a story not of divorce or indifference - but of a stormy, intense, and complex relationship which is changing as fast as religion and the media themselves.' Linda Woodhead, Lancaster University, UK '... media and faith representatives, as well as academics and students... will find plenty here to occupy themselves with. The book includes an important discussion of religious censorship versus free speech by the director of English PENPEN, Jonathan Heawood.' Church Times 'There is a very thorough, and encouraging, bibliography; clearly a lot of good work is done in this field.' Regent's Reviews
