About the Global Faith and Media Study 

The Global Faith and Media Study represents the views of 9,395 quantitative interviews between August and September 2022 across 18 countries globally, with regions selected to cover the world’s major religions in North America, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. In addition, views of the news media were gathered through 30 in-depth qualitative interviews with journalists and editors across the same geographic footprint.  

The study is the first flagship insights report available from The Faith and Media Index, a new platform launched by The Faith and Media Initiative, which will partner with the world’s most respected institutions to build a robust platform of research and data. The Index will include original insights on the global landscape of faith and media, early identification of trends and opportunities for collaboration, as well as a robust data resource for journalists, editors and content creators. The first issue of The Global Faith and Media Study was funded, in part, by a grant from the Radiant Foundation
