What is it about?
This chapter of the book "Religious Complexity in the Public Sphere" (edited by Inger Furseth) displays and discusses the role of the media in transformations of public religion in the Nordic countries from about 1980 to 2015. Particular emphasis is put on print journalism and popular media. The changes are seen as continuity as well as part of a growing complexity, understood in the perspective of mediatization theory.
