Religion News in the News

Religion is always in the news, but it hasn’t always been considered an important beat. In recent years that changed for the better, in part because editors and publishers learned that many conflicts around the world center around religion.

Many newspapers started carrying dedicated religion pages, or even entire sections.

Lately, though, religion reporters have found themselves fired or re-assigned to other beats. Traditional newspapers have lost countless subscribers who prefer reading the news online — as it happens. In addition, the economic crisis means papers have had to cut expenses across the board.

Unfortunately, many newspapers have not yet learned how to apply their knowledge and expertise to online versions of their publications.

Still, there is much religion news to be found online.
