The latent form of defamation in covering the religious extremism in online media

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to identify the submission of false information in the area of religion in
the media. The author finds the reason for this problem in the professional incompetence of journalists.
This is due to the fact that media workers do not check information, do not research it and distribute
it without thinking about the consequences. And the audience takes the data completely trusting the
media. In addition to the fact, that this is a violation of responsibility before the Law of the Republic
of Kazakhstan «About Mass Media», the author in this material shows a direct connection between the
consequences and distorted facts of religion in the media.
