R(eligion) TV
Facts of Life
The major TV news networks have more than doubled their coverage of religion during the past 10 years, according to a survey by the Media Research Center. That's the good news. The bad news is, reporters often approached religious issues from a political perspective — and their tone was generally suspicious of orthodox faiths yet supportive of minority religions and progressive fads. The Catholic Church received the most coverage among all faiths.
