Two useful new pieces of research:
Yasmin Moll, Arab Media & Society, Islamic Televangelism: Religion, Media and Visuality in Contemporary Egypt with references to Mustafa Hosni, Amr Khaled and Moez Masoud.
Secondly, Maurice Chammah, , Arab Media & Society, Cosmopolitan Islamism and its Critics: Ahmed Abu Haiba, 4Shbab TV, and Western Reception
I haven't fully read these pieces yet.

Mostafa Hosni
Profile of Mostafa Hosni:
LA Times, Imam for a new generation, 31 Dec 08
"Hosni's path is similar to that of other popular TV preachers, such as Amr Khaled and Moez Masoud, charismatic men who started in commerce and were eventually drawn to religious fervor and a desire to repackage Islam. This brand of preacher has not eclipsed the influence of imams and clerics, but it has forced traditional holy men to reckon with the power of the Internet and the allure of simplifying centuries-old texts to fit modern times."

Research
ISIM Review has articles on 'Islamic religious Practice in Outer Space' (based on the activities of astronaut Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor) and 'Purposeful Art: Between Television Preachers and the State' - focusing on Egypt. These are in issue 22, which isn't yet online (should be soon, I guess)

Moez Masoud
Toronto Globe & Mail, Young Muslim televangelist preaches tolerance, 1 Mar 08 Another article about Moez Masoud (previously blogged), in which the role of his online activities are emphasised, especially the Facebook page, which is well worth taking a look at (you need a Facebook account): "It's a message that's reaching millions of people via television shows broadcast on satellite channels across the Middle East, and many more through Masoud's slick Web site and a Facebook Internet group that has more than 10,000 members." There's a number of YouTube clips as well. A good example is here
