THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY TASCHENBUCH

Today the dramas of world politics and a global economy continue to be represented and
reconstructed on television and the Internet: as the Ukrainian athletes arrive in the stadium
during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing  Putin sleeps. China flexes
its will to have absolute control over even a virus  and on the border between Ukraine and
Russia  the latter amasses its military might. During all of these events on the political and
economic world stage  the flame of Olympia remains lit  symbolising peace and traditionally
dedicated to the Greek goddess Hestia  who protects family harmony. Religion and the media play
a crucial role in this performance: the ancient religious ritual should guarantee that the
tradition of international understanding and peace continues - at least during the Olympic
Games - while these events are represented and reconstructed by the media. The current issue
presents four contributions that discuss media ethics and religion from different perspectives.
