Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'This book explores the influence and contributions, on and off the airwaves, of a number of high-profile, distinctive and sometimes highly controversial personalities from John Reith to Jerry Falwell, to the shaping of religious broadcasting in the USA and the UK until the mid-1990s. Robertson's study, interweaving the personal with the institutional, enriches our understanding of how and why religious broadcasting took such very different paths in the two countries.' DR. JIM MCDONNELL, Head of Catholic Communications Centre 1990-2002.'Religious broadcasting has received less attention than it deserves in published media history. Ian Robertson's thoroughly researched book examines its social, economic and religious contexts in Britain and America and highlights the role of the pioneers who made it such a significant part of broadcast output. Essential reading for anyone interested in therelationship between Christianity and the media.' HUGH CHIGNELL, Emeritus Professor of Media History, Bournemouth University. 'In this impressively comprehensive survey of religious broadcasting, from radio to television, Ian Robertson maps out the contrasts between the UK and US. Charismatic appeal played an important role in each context, but the personalities were different. Robertson's balanced approach highlights the ways in which religious broadcasting fits the cultural expectations of both settings and the unexpected ways that religious innovators adapted their message to new technologies.' JOHN WIGGER, Professor of Social & Cultural History, University of Missouri and author of PTL: The Rise and Fall of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker's Evangelical Empire. 'Over thirty years of presenting SONGS OF PRAISE has made the value of religious broadcasting on radio and television abundantly clear to me. It brings connection, comfort, inspiration, empathy and intimacy - like a trusted friend that speaks to each of us in our own surroundings. I believe, for all the inspiration and fellowship Christian broadcasting has brought us in the past, its power and significance as reflected in this book is only just being recognised. The best is yet to come!' PAM RHODES, Author, Broadcaster & Songs of Praise Presenter 1987 to Present Day.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In a decade which celebrates the centenary of the genesis of broadcasting, With God on Our Side examines the extent to which the personality and charisma of key individuals rather than regulators, churches or governments, contributed to the impact of religious broadcasting in the 20th Century. Putting this in context, it sketches the backdrop of mass communications and the development of broadcasting within it, as well as the religious influences of the era and models of personality, whilst also undertaking a comparative examination of the historical, social and legislative settings of religious broadcasting in the USA and the UK from 1921 to 1995. The study looks in depth at the pioneers who took to the stage and became household names, illustrating the differing programming styles and programme makers of the USA and the UK and the organisations that grew up around them to make the broadcasts possible, as well as the audiences who tuned in and the Church networks that supported them, depicting also how the Church was represented within broadcasting in this era. Finally, crystallising the issues outlined and moving from the macro to the micro, the book features two case studies of Christian broadcasting, one from the USA and one from the UK, looking at their governance, structures, programme styles, funding, on-air personalities and their relative audiences, revealing strongly in these two tangible examples, the personality dimension in this unique genre of broadcasting, which so profoundly influenced the media, church and society as it existed in the USA and in the UK, during the 20th Century.…
