About the Journal

The Journal of Religion and Media Studies (JRMS) is an international, interdisciplinary, and peer-reviewed platform dedicated to the rigorous study of the intersection between religious traditions and media technologies. In an era defined by rapid digital transformation, JRMS examines how media shapes religious expression and how faith, in turn, influences media production and consumption.

"Our mission is to foster a global dialogue that bridges theological inquiry, communication theory, and cultural studies."
