What is it about?
This chapter explores, with examples from Norway, how the public sphere is changing in the interplay between religion and media. It discusses how public religion – in journalism, in cultural products, and in specific religious media – is part of institutional change in the public sphere. The chapter applies mediatization theory, regarded as a theory of institutional change.

Why is it important?
Religion in recent years has become more visible in the public sphere, often connected to conflicts and tensions in society. Religion is over time transformed in its dependence on and interplay with various media. The chapters tries to grasp the institutional changes in this interplay between media and religion.
