Dimensions of coverage of religious conflicts

Abstract

The study of religious conflicts requires a nuanced approach, taking into account the interactions of identity, emotions, and the socio-political complex background in which these conflicts develop. When covering religious conflicts, the most important issue is to study the preconditions and causes of conflicts in order to avoid indiscriminately labeling them as religious. Investigating root causes allows researchers and journalists to identify contextual factors that may transform a seemingly non-religious conflict into one with religious significance. This prioritization helps to present a more nuanced and accurate narrative and avoid generalizations.
