Description
Summary:This article aims to provide an updated overview of major trends in Spain’s changing religious media system, a topic on which little academic literature can be found in languages other than Spanish. The focus is on media and content related to what might be called ‘mainstream religions’ in a country which is still characterised as overwhelmingly Catholic, despite the progressive secularisation of society, at least in terms of the decrease in conventional religious practice. The approach adopted is a descriptive one, with the focus placed mainly on media structures, reach, reception and uses for both offline and online media.
