DESCRIPTION:Secular voices on air? Western debates on religion\, secularis
 m and Public Service Broadcasting\nTim Karis (KHK post-doc)\nRegulatory fr
 ameworks of public service broadcasters (PSBs) across Europe are full of r
 eferences to religions. In Germany\, for example\, the Catholic and Protes
 tant Churches as well as the Jewish communities are legally provided with 
 air time on PSB television and radio. In times of increasing religious div
 ersity as well as growing secularization\, criticisms of such regulation i
 s spreading as many consider it to run counter to the principle of separat
 ion of state and religion. Others argue that existing privileges for relig
 ions should be extended to secular groups who have hitherto often been exc
 luded from direct access to PSBs either by law or by common practice. In t
 his paper\, recent examples of such debates from the German\, British and 
 Dutch contexts are presented. As it is argued\, an analysis of such debate
 s reveals how different and often ambiguous notions of religion\, seculari
 ty and the public space are competing in Western discourse.\nThis paper wi
 ll be presented in panel Journalism and Religion: Critical Terms in Public
