Reviews
The main strength of this volume is its diversity in terms of religious traditions, media forms, and geographical locations. In addition, the book stands out among recent media and religion books for the focus on news media instead of delving into more trendy topics of popular culture or social media. (Kristin M. Peterson, Electronic News, 13/2019) Cohen has accomplished much in bringing us new and understudied regions and topics. Scholars will welcome these variations, whilst students will appreciate a diverse collection of essays that gives a good picture of the dynamic field of religion and journalism. (Michael B. Munnik, Journal of Religion, Media and Digital Culture, 8/2019) The variety and interest of the topics covered in Spiritual News: Reporting Religion around the World is a new demonstration that-contrary to certain forecasts-religion is still alive, also in the field of communication. [...O]ne of the book's accomplishments is its structure and the variety of perspectives of the nineteen studies that make it up.
