Abstract
This study explores how an interpretive community of Mormons employs secularization defense strategies in the media environment of Las Vegas, Nevada. Focus groups, nonparticipant observations, and semistructured interviews reveal a psychological separation from media when messages cannot be physically avoided. Study participants also redefine their environment as faith-building rather than faith-damaging. This article explains how interpretive community can be built around shared strategies of media adjustment.
