Charisma March Issue Cuts Through Media Madness

What do Charlie Sheen, iPhones, Facebook and big-haired women on Christian television have in common? They’re all part of the ever-changing world of disruptive media, which is the focus of Charisma magazine’s March issue.

Lake Mary, FL, April 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- What do Charlie Sheen, iPhones, Facebook and big-haired women on Christian television have in common? They’re all part of the ever-changing world of disruptive media, which is the focus of Charisma magazine’s March issue.

Though easily mistaken for media that interrupts (think: text messages you get while in a meeting), the term disruptive media entails such culture-shifting media vehicles as Facebook and smartphone apps. None of us imagined five years ago how much these would change our lives—and yet how can we thrive in this new era of constant media changes?

Media expert Phil Cooke answers that very question in the March cover story of Charisma, explaining how we can navigate today’s changes and rise above the media clutter. As a consultant for most of the major Christian media outlets, Cooke also shares his views on what’s right with Christian TV today.

“It’s fitting that in a month known for college basketball’s ‘March Madness,’ we’re focusing on how to sort through the media madness that exists in most homes today,” Charisma Editor Marcus Yoars says. “Believers desperately need to be equipped not only to be familiar with new forms of media, but also to have enough discernment to see through the ungodly standards delivered on those platforms.”

Movieguide’s Ted Baehr echoes this last sentiment in the March issue by providing tips for improving your family’s media discernment amid a world of junky entertainment. In “The Anointed Must Be Appointed,” Charisma Online Editor Felicia Mann sheds some light on how evangelist Reinhard Bonnke is passing the baton of his ministry to his 29-year-old successor—and what we can learn from this healthy transfer. In addition to telling the amazing story of death-defying NASCAR driver Michael McDowell, the March issue also delves into how social media is transforming the way we learn.
