| Summary: | The article presents a theoretical and methodological framework for a cultural studies–
oriented approach to the complex relationship between media ethics and religion.
On the basis of several concrete examples, the article sheds light on the centrality of religious
worldviews, symbols, figures, and narratives within different media practices in
which moral norms, principles, and values are reproduced, rediscovered, discussed, legitimated,
and contested. Moreover, the article highlights how the examination of concrete
media content can be implemented in teaching in order to stimulate and increase
students’ capacity to understand, analyze, and evaluate the normative function and
power of the media, especially in the contemporary digitalized and globalized world.
