I check out a few websites almost every day for relevant news coverage. One of my favorite websites for daily viewing is GetReligion.org. The site doesn't just cover religious news stories, but provides analysis on how the secular press handles new stories related to religion. The site derives its name from a quote by William Schneider: “On the national level the press is one of the most secular institutions in American society. It just doesn’t get religion or any idea that flows from religious conviction.” I find the way the press covers the Orthodox Church and our way of life particularly interesting, but the way the secular press covers religious stories in general is worth considering. Press coverage tells us a lot about our society and culture.Read Orthodixie as a suppliment to GetReligion.org.
Enjoy.
