What is the relationship between religion and media? Use examples from media reporting, film, television, print or online to highlight your perspective on the connection between religion, media and culture? How do the mediated formats and genres reflect religious themes?

Similar issues are raised by Gordon Lynch and Jolyon Mitchell (2012:3). They ask: 'In what ways are media and culture implicated in how forms of religion persist and change in modern societies.' What is your view?
