Call for chapters: The dynamics of religious media in Europe

https://religiousmedia.wordpress.com

Two decades ago Graham Murdock (1997) has noted: "uneasy, and as yet
largely unexplored, relation to the institutionalized relations
between the religious and media systems of individual nation-states".
Considering those decades of European media scholarship on media and
religion, the research gap in the field of religious media in national
media systems still waits for exploration.
The preparing monograph focuses on the dynamics of religious media
considered from the national media systems landscape. Its content
deals with few basic questions:
- What are the paths that the dynamics of religious media follow?
- How the religious media reproduce strategies of leading media outlets?
- To what extent they are a part of national-state media systems?
- What is the impact of the religious media on institutions and
political actors?
- What is the position of the religious media in the country in
relations with the secular media?

Editors of the monograph are expecting for chapters dealing with a
single European country religious media. The chapters follow the
structures and topics based on:
- main religious media of the country,
- the characteristics of these religious media,
- the position of religious media in the country (also their media
market position) and its place in national media systems,
- the way of shaping the religious media by the cyber communication,
- a specific feature of national religious media,
- the relation between media and religion in the context of national 
politics.

Editors are interested especially in papers that discuss the landscape
of religious media of Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Malta, Nordic
countries, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, United Kingdom
and Vatican.

The monograph will be submitted in recognized publishing house in
2017. One of the communication series of Peter Lang Publishing has
preliminarily accepted the book proposal.

Abstract proposals (350 words, written in English) should be sent to
Adjunct Ph.D. Damian Guzek from University of Silesia (YECREA
Representative in TWG Media and Religion ECREA) –
(damian.guzek /at/ us.edu.pl) and Adjunct Ph.D. Bartlomiej Secler from Adam
Mickiewicz University in Poznan – (bartlomiej.secler /at/ amu.edu.pl)
