In this study, Ronald R. Rodgers examines several narratives
involving religion's historical influence on the news ethic of
journalism: its decades-long opposition to the Sunday newspaper as
a vehicle of modernity that challenged the tradition of the
Sabbath; the parallel attempt to create an advertising-driven
Christian daily newspaper; and the ways in which
religion-especially the powerful Social Gospel movement-pressured
the press to become a moral agent. The digital disruption of the
news media today has provoked a similar search for a news ethic
that reflects a new era-for instance, in the debate about
jettisoning the substrate of contemporary mainstream journalism,
objectivity. But, Rodgers argues, before we begin to transform
journalism's present news ethic, we need to understand its
foundation and formation in the past.
