Interreligious Dialogue in Media
Research Guide
What is Interreligious Dialogue in Media?
Interreligious Dialogue in Media examines media platforms' roles in facilitating or obstructing conversations between religious groups, including online forums and broadcast representations.
Researchers analyze how media influences interfaith relations, conflict resolution, and mutual understanding (Colombo, 2025; Kozubek and Silva, 2022). Studies cover social media like Facebook and educational contexts amid conflicts (Kalay, 2018; Helskog, 2019). Approximately 12 papers from 2011-2025 address this, with citations ranging from 0-5.
Why It Matters
Media shapes interfaith perceptions in diverse societies, promoting cohesion or fueling polarization, as seen in analyses of Facebook's role in religious dynamics (Kalay, 2018). In conflict zones like Ukraine, media dialogue addresses dignity and war challenges (Kulahina-Stadnichenko, 2022; Kulahina-Stadnichenko, 2023). Educational media initiatives foster intercultural competence, aiding social harmony (Jurišić and Kemfelja, 2025; Kozubek and Silva, 2022).
Key Research Challenges
Media Polarization Effects
Media often amplifies religious divides rather than dialogue, complicating mutual understanding (Colombo, 2025). Studies in Brescia highlight intersubjectivity breakdowns in online forums (Colombo, 2025).
War-Time Dialogue Barriers
Conflicts like Russia's war on Ukraine hinder interreligious media exchanges, challenging dignity frameworks (Kulahina-Stadnichenko, 2022). Social dialogue forms struggle amid hostilities (Kulahina-Stadnichenko, 2023).
Intercultural Competence Gaps
Developing media literacy for interfaith competence remains limited in education (Jurišić and Kemfelja, 2025). Integrating secular-religious media interactions faces sociocultural hurdles (Kostyukova et al., 2020).
