description Abstract This article examines how the three dailies Fædrelandsvennen, Agderposten and Lindesnes in southern Norway cover stories with references to religion and worldview. What characterizes these items, and how do the editors explain the coverage? The study concludes that religion and worldview rarely constitute the main theme. When they are on the agenda, they customarily refer to Christian events and happenings. Islam is covered mainly by news agencies, usually about matters far away. Low status, low interest and lack of knowledge are some of the reasons editors give when explaining why stories about religion are rarely given priority.
