Winston's book will surely, therefore, find a ready place on the academic bookshelf and will draw interest from both students of media and religion, academicians, even journalists and religious clerics.

Yoel Cohen, Communication Research Trends

A great resource...Winston and her contributors are utterly persuasive in their contention that the currents of the media water are so strong that religion scholars need to be aware of them.

Religion in American History

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 medical 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 media studies, journalism studies, religious studies, and American studies. Comprised of six sections, the first examines how the history of the mass media and the role religion played in its growth. The second looks at how the major media formats - print, broadcast, and online - deal with religion. The next two examines how journalists cover major religious traditions and particular issues that have religion angles. The fifth examines the religious press, from the Christian Broadcasting Network to The Forward. The final section looks at how the American press covers the rest of the world.

"Winston's book will surely, therefore, find a ready place on the academic bookshelf and will draw interest from both students of media and religion, academicians, even journalists and religious clerics." -- Yoel Cohen, Communication Research Trends A great resource...Winston and her contributors are utterly persuasive in their contention that the currents of the media water are so strong that religion scholars need to be aware of them. --Religion in American History "This excellent collection fills a large gap in reference works on the interdisciplinary subject matter of religion and the news media in the US. Editor Winston (Annenberg School, USC) is one of the leading figures at the intersection of religion and news media, and the range and depth of coverage she has assembled here is provocative and useful." --CHOICE "The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the American News Media should be an essential reference work in journalism, American studies, media studies, and religious studies- suitable for undergraduates, scholars, and professionals. The volume offers a compendium of analyses, reflective metahistory, and inventive methodological approaches that will be helpful to a broad range of scholars." --The Journal of American History
