Abstract:

What factors influence the ability of religious interest groups to gain access to the media? Using data collected from newspaper coverage of five issue deliberations and interest group data collected from a variety of sources, this paper examines the factors that influence group access to mediated deliberations. I hypothesize that the way an issue is framed in the media will impact the degree to which religious groups have a voice in those mediated policy debates. I find that, rather than religious or ideological bias, group resources, or accessibility to the media, the way an issue is framed in the media as a morality policy is the strongest explanation for religious group access to mediated deliberations.
