Writing in the New York Times Magazine, Max Frankel characterized Unsecular Media as a book that "leaves you thinking about the saintly role that religion has acquired in our allegedly irreligious media."
Mark Silk's book is the first to offer a comprehensive description and analysis of how American news media cover religion.
From published reviews:
"Argues that those who write on, edit and give place to religious themes in American journalism unwittingly favor religion too much. . . . Likely to have a long-term if subtle effect on religious coverage in the secular press." -- Martin E. Marty, Christian Century
"Provides a framework for a less judgmental and more pluralistic approach to the coverage of religion in the U.S. Highly recommended." -- Choice
Awards:
A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title, 1997.
Subjects:
Religion / Communications & Journalism / History, Am.: 20th C. / Popular Culture / Sociology
