ABSTRACT Using mixed qualitative methods, this research analyzes the entanglement of religion, media, and celebrity culture in the context of a Las Vegas-based megachurch. First, we analyze how the church adopts a culture industry approach, transforming and retrofitting it for religious practice. Second, we unpack the implications of media and celebrity culture as a platform for the transmission of religious meaning. Finally, we explore the compounding quality of these elements (celebrity, technology, and religion) and its effects in this form of religious syncretism. Though a reductionistic analysis may be tempting, this research presents a case in which new forms of technology functions to synthesize and augment a blending of celebrity culture and spiritual practice that escapes any singular type of characterization. Religion, in this context, presents many physical and virtual faces, rooted in the blending of heterogenous elements in the worship experience.

ABSTRACT Nearly two decades after Fred Rogers’ death, diverse researchers, journalists, and media critics continue to assess the esteemed broadcaster’s social legacy. The present study expands this discussion by reframing Rogers’ work as religious television versus purely secular educational television. The emergent perspective better accounts for how Rogers not only structured MRN around identifiable Christian practices and values, but also the manner in which audiences perceived these activities as deep, spiritual experiences. Theories of media phenomenology complement ritual models of communication to help edify this perspective. These bodies of theory illuminate the innovative ways Rogers integrated the sensory experience of television with carefully crafted performative rhetorics, all of which transformed Rogers’ children’s programs into a life-affirming neighborhood ministry. In so doing, Rogers demonstrated how the sensory attributes of television created a virtual space that fostered unprecedented intimacy between mass audiences and media performers.

ABSTRACT In response to calls for more empirical studies in organizational communication to further develop the Four Flows Model of CCO, this analysis examines Daesh’s use of visual messaging strategies as a means of institutional positioning in the global communications environment. To do so, the study analyzes over 2000 religious and state images displayed in the group’s English/Arabic publications. The findings highlight the critical role of both the quantity and nature of visual output in the Four Flows Model. The study also expands current understandings of institutional positioning over time, through organizational expansion/constraint, and in relation to various targeted online communities.

ABSTRACT The impact of television news teases has not been explored from the standpoint of response to political positions featured in the tease taken by religious and business elites. We theorize that the novelty of these ostensibly nonpolitical elites offering their perspective in a news tease about a report on immigration and economic growth leads to increased audience attention to the news tease. Utilizing a randomized experimental design, we expose treated subjects to clergy or business CEOs agreeing, disagree, or offering no reaction to an economic report linking “illegal” immigration to economic growth. Results show that subjects are statistically more likely to notice the tease featuring the pastor agreeing with the report findings. The same “pastor agrees” tease also spurs treated subjects to engage in an information search of news stories related to the tease content and to look first at stories attributed to Fox News. Our results suggest multiple avenues for additional research on news tease effects featuring elite statements.
