Religion and media: showing the full iceberg

摘要

Harmony in the binomial of religion and news has never been easy. Religion is a complexdimension, which resists entering the moulds of conventional journalism, where there isnot always room for nuance. As if religion were an iceberg, the journalist is interested inthe part that stands out, but he has to keep in mind the part that is not seen for his story tobe coherent. In addition, to increase the complexity, although religious sensitivity is inherent to every human being, we must not forget that not all religions are the same. The roleof the media and the meaning of freedom of expression are also very different in the various religions.
