Religion and the Media (8-16-04)

I'll be doing a little "Event Blogging" for the next two days from Austin at the "Religion and the Media" Conference sponsored by the Texas Freedom Network.

I've signed up for Dr. William Martin's workshop on the "History of the Religious Right and the Press." Dr. Martin is professor of Sociology at Rice University and author of one of the definitive books on the religious right. His book, With God on Our Side, is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the rise of the religious right in America. A companion six episode video series by PBS provides additional information that is very valuable.

I'll post more after I've attended some sessions.
