Abstract
This paper discusses a unique and revolutionary method that quantitatively evaluates the programming of a media outlet regarding religious pluralism. Using a "program appeal" score and entropy measures from information theory, the broadcast operator is able to determine if governmental compliance is being met and whether certain programs are problematic. The theoretical foundation of this tool is presented and illustrated using real-life data.
期刊介绍：
Entropy (ISSN 1099-4300), an international and interdisciplinary journal of entropy and information studies, publishes reviews, regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish as much as possible their theoretical and experimental details. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. If there are computation and the experiment, the details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
