Abstract
This chapter highlights the history of IAMCR’s Religion and Communication Working Group. Emphasizing that media and religion became implicated in one another in modernity, this chapter discusses a move by researchers away from early instrumentalist approaches and toward comparative and broadly critical perspectives as well as the influence of IAMCR members on other allied professional associations.
