NYU Center for Religion and Media

The Center for Religion & Media promotes the public understanding of religion and its place in media The Center started officially in May 2003.

The Center for Religion and Media at New York University is one of ten Centers of Excellence funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts from 2003–2007. The Center continues with an endowment from NYU to stimulate innovative research and teaching in the interdisciplinary study of religion. The Center seeks to develop interdisciplinary, cross-cultural knowledge of how religious practices and ideas are shap

ed and spread through a variety of media. It provides a space for scholarly endeavor, a stage for public educational events and an electronic interface with scholars, journalists and the public through its innovative web journal,The Revealer: A Daily Review of Religion and the Press, edited by religion scholar and journalist Jeff Sharlet. While this project was conceived before September 11, that event and its aftermath have dramatized the need for understanding the spread of religious ideas and practices through a variety of media. The Center is a joint project of the Religious Studies Program (Angela Zito, Director) and the Center for Media, Culture, and History, (Faye Ginsburg, Director, Barbara Abrash, Director of Public Programming). Jeff Sharlet is the editor of the Center’s innovative web journal, The Revealer: A Daily Review of Religion and the Press.
