Recent literature on Pentecostal and Charismatic movements describes their increasing employment of modern mass media to spread their message worldwide in order to gain a wider audience (Anderson 1979;Coleman 2000;De Vries and Weber 2001;De Witte 2003;Hackett 1998;Stout and Buddenbaum 1996).

À l'instar de ce qui s'observe dans la sous-région où le christianisme et les mouvements pentecôtistes s'impliquent fortement dans la sphère publique et dans les médias (Hackett 1998 ;Ukah 2003 ;Meyer 2004 ;2005 ;2006 ;de Witte 2003 ;Marshall-Fratani 1998 ;2001), le Burkina Faso voit s'opérer les mêmes processus.
