It provides a general framework for the following four<br>articles based on a longitudinal study of religion in Danish, Finnish,<br>Norwegian, and Swedish newspapers by clarifying what characterizes<br>selected ‘Nordic’ countries, their media spheres, and their religious<br>landscapes. Furthermore, this article suggests that despite significant<br>changes in the media sphere, including factual media production and<br>consumption, there are good reasons to study religion-related media<br>content produced by the dominant and conventional media outlets,<br>including newspapers. However, this should not be done by isolating<br>newspapers from society and the rest of the media. This introduction<br>and the following articles therefore propose that the selected key<br>concepts and debates among sociologists of religion are particularly<br>useful in thinking about religion-related newspaper content.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Temenos - Nordic Journal for the Study of Religion}, author={Taira, Teemu}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={175–99} }
