The national media are failing to look beyond “traditional streams” of the Church and struggle to describe “contemporary” expressions of Christianity, a new report suggests.
There is “still a deep misunderstanding of contemporary expressions of faith and the value those within the Christian community can add to meaningful public discourse”, it says.
The report, Christianity in the Media 2025, published on Wednesday, was commissioned by Jersey Road, a communications agency that works with Christian organisations. During the 12 months from December 2023 to November 2024, it used the professional media-monitoring platform Agility PR Solutions to identify and collate online news articles from UK media specifically relating to Christianity. Each week, the 100 articles with the most impressions or potential views was chosen, and this produced a total of 5200 stories.
