Abstract

Abstract A review of: Claire Hoertz Badaracco, Quoting God: How Media Shape Ideas about Religion and Culture (Waco, TX: Baylor University Press, 2005). 325 pp. $29.95. In this edited volume, different voices speak to the need for responsible, nuanced journalism that does not always follow the mainstream media's constructed frameworks. Non-partisan journalistic practice requires that no significant opinion or constituency should be excluded from a story. Contributors to this book highlight this conclusion through a variety of interesting stories, from the media portrayal of the Aum Shinrikyo group in Japan to a three-day excursion to Borders, Starbucks, and Target searching for the emerging spiritual landscape of contemporary America.
