About

What is ReligionWriter.com? Is it a blog?

ReligionWriter.com is an online micro-publication meant to showcase new ideas on religion in whole-grain journalism format. It is a blog in the technical sense that it has regular postings in reverse-chronological order. On some topics, ReligionWriter offers an opinionated, personal outlook; on others it offer a more objective, journalistic tone.

What does “whole-grain journalism” mean?

This is a half-serious term Andrea made up. The phrase occurred to her while she was interviewing media expert Andrew Nachison, who referred to traditional news articles as “highly refined products,” for which a journalist collects, processes and polishes an enormous amount of raw material. Whole-grain journalism, then, offers more direct access to that raw material.

Who is the target audience?

Journalists, academics, bloggers, practitioners and anyone interested in religion.

How often do you post new content?

Currently, about twice a week.

Who contributes content?

Andrea Useem is currently the sole contributor, but she is currently pursuing collaborative relationships with others.
