Christian media has become consolidated through the wide-spread popularity of Christian pop culture.
The conservative Christian right and fundamentalist Christians have been especially active with media ventures.[1]
Christian television, which may include broadcast television or cable television channels whose entire programming schedule is comprised of programs directly related to Christianity, such as Australian Christian Channel or individual shows which are part of the overall programming of a general-interest television station, often shown on Sunday mornings.
Christian magazines, one of many special-interest groups within the magazine publishing industry. Christian magazines often focus on groups within Christianity, such as men or women, youth, or certain denominations. Many Christian magazines are published by denominations and independent ministries as an outreach to the unchurched or to the organization's supporters, frequently at no cost to the reader. Other Christian magazines are published commercially for a profit, and sold by subscription or by single copies through bookstores and other retailers. Examples include Christianity Today, InControl Christian Magazine and Charisma.File:700-Club-News.jpg
Christian newspapers, a small segment of Christian media which typically communicates news to members of the denomination or group which publishes the paper. Such newspapers often published weekly, rarely more frequently and often less frequently (bi-weekly, monthly). Examples include the Southern Baptist Convention, whose various state conventions often publish weekly or bi-weekly newspapers, also Christian Examiner and The Christian Post. Sometimes individual congregations will publish newspapers; one example is Southeast Christian Church, a megachurch in Louisville, Kentucky which publishes a weekly newspaper distributed throughout the metro area. Independent publishers have also produced Christian newspapers, often aimed at a specific group such as Roman Catholics. For much the same reasons as commercial newspapers such as the high cost of production and distribution, some Christian newspapers are converting to online publishing.
Christian video games are generally released by independent Christian developers, though sometimes a major company develops a game targeted at this audience. A major Christian game developer is Wisdom Tree. Most of these games are panned by the mainstream game market due to their limited scope, badly made stages, extensive simplicity, or lack of fun game elements.[citation needed]
