Framing of Fundamentalism in the Digital Media Space

Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

This paper seeks to understand the relationship between media and the
framing of religious fundamentalism in the digital media space. It investigates the
fundamentalism phenomenon through concepts of mass communication and
framing theories, and examines several empirical findings of framing of
fundamentalism in Canada, France, the Netherlands and India. This inquiry is
also an attempt to examine and review the current literature and definitions of
religious fundamentalism in the humanities and social sciences. This paper argues
that the symbolic constructs and frames in the media of extreme beliefs and their
activists are biased and incomplete, and considers the implications for further
research in digital media and religious fundamentalism.
