    CHRISTIAN MEDIA Christian Press and Media Can Be

    CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE CHRISTIAN MEDIA Christian press and media can be understood in diff erent ways. ereTh are internal publications in the churches, directed to the community of the faithful. Th ere are publications with mainly a Christian content, directed to a broader public than only the church community. Finally there are media-companies run by Christians, who want to off er a contribution to the general public. At the beginning of this chapter we will give a short overview of the Protestant and Catholic press in Indonesia starting in the seventeenth century. In a second part we will describe in short the history of Catholic publishers. We will take the history of the Catholic publisher and printer Kanisius as an example, and give in comparison a short description of the biggest Protestant Publisher in Indonesia, BPK Gunung Mulia. In the third part we will give some attention to an ecumenical project named Kokosia, a project that tried to make an inventory of the Christian activities in the fi eld of communication in Indonesia between 1978 and 1986. In the last part of this chapter we will describe how the newspaper Kompas, started by Catholics in 1965 as a “daily newspaper” and as a “views paper,” continues to the present to give a peaceful but also a critical contribution to the developments in Indonesian society. We end with a few notes about Sinar Harapan, later renamed Suara Pembaruan, a newspaper started by Protestants in Indonesia. Protestant press and media in the seventeenth until the nineteenth century Th e VOC realised the benefi t of the press in publishing laws and regulations of the government.

    PLAYING THE MARKET: CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN MUSIC & THE THEORY OF RELIGIOUS ECONOMY by Jamie Carrick B.A., The University of Calgary, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Religious Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2012 © Jamie Carrick, 2012 Abstract Contemporary Christian music (CCM) is a fascinating and understudied part of the religious vitality of modern American religion. In this dissertation the theory of religious economy is proposed as a valuable and highly serviceable methodological approach for the scholarly study of CCM. The theory of religious economy, or the marketplace approach, incorporates economic concepts and terminology in order to better explain American religion in its distinctly American context. In this study, I propose three ways in which this method can be applied. Firstly, I propose that CCM artists can be identified as religious firms operating on the “supply-side” of the religio-economic dynamic; it is their music, specifically the diverse brands of Christianity espoused there within, that can allow CCM artists to be interpreted in such a way. Secondly, the diversity within the public religious expressions of CCM artists can be recognized as being comparable to religious pluralism in a free marketplace of religion. Finally, it is suggested that the relationship between supply-side firms is determined, primarily, by the competitive reality of a free market religious economy. ii Table of Contents Abstract . ii Table of Contents . iii List of Figures . iv Acknowledgements . v 1 Introduction . 1 1.1 Introduction . 1 1.2 Religion & Popular Culture .

    First State Visit of the Pope Today Events Are Truly Historic As It Is the First State Visit of a Pope to the UK

    Produced by CathCom & Premier Christian Radio p2 St Ninian's Parade p3 Bellahouston Park p4 Information for Today Poster to Commemorate the day Pope arrives in Scotland The Duke of Edinburgh met the Pope today when he arrived at Edinburgh airport. This is the first time the Queen's consort has been dispatched to meet a visiting head of state. Prince Philip was part of a small welcoming party for Benedict XVI when the pontiff steped off his Alitalia plane, code-named Shepherd One, this morning at the start of his four-day visit to the UK. Also present to receive the Pope were Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of Scotland's Catholics, and his opposite number in England, Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster. The Duke and the Pope travelled together by limousine to the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the Queen, the first minister Alex Salmond and various other dignitaries. A source in the Roman Catholic Church in Scotland said that the move was seen as an acknowledgement that the Pope's forthcoming trip to Britain was "not just any state visit". Fr Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman said: ''Usually it is a junior member of the royal family or a minister but to have the Duke of Edinburgh at the welcome is very significant and most unusual,” Many protests are being organised around the UK by various groups, however, the Vatican has already stated that it is not worried by this. "There are always demonstrations, even during other trips. In this particular case, the movement will be bigger because in the United Kingdom there are more atheist or anti-pope groups.

Jim Morrison The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy. Ted Turner For better or for worse, our company (The News Corporation Ltd.) is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values. Rupert Murdoch History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamour of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Broadcasting is often one of the few voices that present alternative viewpoints to those expressed in the other media. Christianity has a proven track record for having a positive influence on western society (hospitals, education, basis of government and the law) and we believe that Community Christian Broadcasting is an important and dynamic sector. There are a number of sub-sectors of community broadcasting, who each have special needs and cultural sensitivities. These are RPH, Indigenous, and Ethnic. Each of these make up a very small portion, in both numbers Association of Christian Broadcasters submission March Page 1 of stations and audience of the total sector. However, due to the argued special needs of these sectors they now enjoy significant government funding which the Association of Christian Broadcasters supports and would like to see increased.

With its origins dating back to the late 1960s, CCM resembles musical styles of popular-secular culture while retaining fundamental Christian values in lyrical content. This historical perspective of CCM marketing strategies, CCM music television, CCM and secular music, arts worlds within CCM, and the science of storytelling in CCM aims to provide readers with the context and understanding of the significant role that CCM plays in modern-day evangelism.

    Thoughts Toward Analyzing Christian Media Marketing

    Selling Entertainment and Salvation: Thoughts Toward Analyzing Christian Media Marketing Presented at the Northeast Popular Culture Association Conference St. John Fisher College Rochester, NY October 26, 2012 Jim Y. Trammell, PhD. Assistant Professor The Nido R. Qubein School of Communication High Point University High Point, NC 27262 This presentation represents the first steps toward a longer-form project that explores Christian media marketing, and its implications for how we understand and approach the Christian faith. This presentation is not composed of fully-fleshed out ideas or a mature framework of analysis—rather it is best understood as a series of notes, an early draft of an introductory chapter that will establish the conceptualizations for an as- of-yet developed argument in a larger project. That project, which will address what Christian mass media do, must first acknowledge what Christian mass media are. This presentation represents a packing (and unpacking) of ideas toward defining Christian media. Simply put, this talk addresses “Christian media” as an oversimplified concept. Despite being ubiquitous, “Christian mass media” is not defined simply. What makes media “Christian?” We will explore the term “Christian media” through a review of how it is defined and used by observers, creators, distributors and other participants in the Christian media industry. In particular, we’ll explore the Christian media industry through a variety of texts—books, articles, press releases, blogs, etc.—to identify five dominant approaches to “Christian media”: by genre, content, artist, distributor, and purpose. The presentation concludes with an argument that each of these approaches affirms the role of the marketplace in understanding and defining “Christian media.” Genre Genres are distinguished by aesthetics.
