Call for Papers | 125www.jrfm.eu 2020, 6/2, 124–125 resentation and where attribution of responsibility becomes increasingly complex. We are looking for contributions that deal with the topic of media ethics and religion in a broad sense: case studies, historical and contemporary, that discuss media-ethical questions regarding religion are welcome, as are meta discourses about approaches to media ethics and methodological questions in media ethics. The contributions may deal with, but are not limited to, the following ques- tions: • Which images of religion receive more attention, become iconic, and why? And why are they referred to more often and distributed more broadly than other images? • What moral criteria govern the dissemination of specific images of reli- gion? What is the role of governmental and other (e. g. religious) control in this context? • Are there good (idealized) or bad (defaming) images of religion or reli- gious agents/actors in the media? How might we define good and bad images of religion or religious agents/actors? What guidelines do these moral judgements follow? We are seeking innovative scholarly discussion within a broad spectrum of case studies that includes media productions such as documentaries, fiction films, short films, drama series, and reality shows as well as material from distribution channels such as streaming platforms, webpages, and social me- dia. Contributions from the perspective of media practitioners and profes- sionals are also welcome. The issue also includes an open section for articles on other topics linked to the profile of JRFM. The deadline for all submissions is 15 August 2021. Contributions of 6,000-8,000 words (including notes) should be submitted for double-blind peer review through the journal homepage www.jrfm.eu. We kindly ask authors to register and consider the instructions for submit- ting contributions, especially the stylesheet. Publication is scheduled for May 2022.
