How Does The Media Portray Religion?

The portrayal of religion in media depends from country to country. The first important factor lies in the government and the governments policies set for the freedom of the press. Media shares a very give and take relationship of information, and so any kind of information given by us is provided by the media. For instance, media telecast of communal riots. Media doesn't really provide its point of view for any religion.

The other form of portrayal could also show some of the religious practices performed by certain faiths. It could also include the cultural traditions of a community. Sometimes the telecast is not just countrywide but takes place at an international level as well. For example Mother Theresa, Princess Diana's and Prince Charles wedding ceremony and lately the attack on America's World Trade Centre.
