Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Sex, Religion, Media. Dane S. Claussen. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2002. 295 pp. $72.50 hbk. $24.95 pbk. The study of religion and media has taken on new legitimacy and life over the past decade with a spate of new books and journals. Although The Religious Communication Association launched The Journal of Communication and Religion as early as 1978, serious inquiries into this long-neglected field were few until the early 1990s. Pioneers in the academic exploration of religion, media, and popular culture include Judith Buddenbaum and Daniel Stout, who have published books on the topic together and separately, and who started the Journal of Media and Religion in 2002; Stewart M. Hoover, founding chair of the International Study Commission on Media, Religion, and Culture and author of Religion in the News: Faith and Journalism in American Public Discourse; and Mark Silk, author of Unsecular Media: Making News of Religion in America. Important studies have also been published by Lynn Schofield Clark, Knut Lundby, Quentin J. Schultze, and many others. Sex, Religion, Media is a welcome work of religion and media scholarship that features nineteen chapters focusing on the intersection of these three subjects. The book covers a valuable segment of the ever-widening scope of media and religion titles. Sex comes first in this title and is the thread that ties the book's widely varied research together. This unique and eclectic anthology, edited by Dane S. Claussen, associate professor in the Department of Journalism and Mass Communication at Point Park College in Pittsburgh, offers studies that range from filmic depictions of religious and sexual images, to New Right responses to sexual media, to gay and lesbian religious controversies. Some of the works in this collection are more scholarly than others, and some are more objective than others, but all are thought provoking and useful. The approaches are as varied as the topics, from qualitative historical narratives to quantitative analyses. One study, Family, Peers, Religiosity, Electronic Media, and the Risk of Adolescent Sexual Activity, found that all four factors have varying influences on an adolescent's decision whether or not to have premarital sex based on a survey of 467 respondents. Two very timely essays discuss media approaches to coverage of child molestation by the clergy. One piece focuses on American and Canadian news coverage of Catholic priests charged with pedophilia. News stories of molestation were often delayed in the secular press for years, we are told, as many editors did not want to tangle with ecclesiastical authorities. …

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.
