A quadruple wedding
Religion stories often offer viral potential, especially if you can combine it with puppies, smokin’ hot wives or Justin Bieber. Combine religion with the wedding industry and you have quite the potential marriage.

Big day at Supreme Court for religious freedom
An extremely important religious liberty case is being argued in front of the Supreme Court today. I have been meaning to cover the case for months, but it kept falling into the deeper recesses of my guilt file. The case involves the firing of a Lutheran school teacher from a Lutheran school. The particulars of the case are unique and the story of the teacher who was fired is compelling. But because of the way the lower courts have ruled and because of the possible outcomes of a SCOTUS decision, today is just huge.

A religious journalist on religion journalism
I have often wondered whether someone who is personally religious would have the guts to uncover a Watergate-like story in his or her own faith tradition. When I read AP reporter Tom Breen’s analogy of a sports fan covering sports, it reinforced the idea for me that someone who is religious could indeed pursue religion journalism just as aggressively as anyone else.

How an AP reporter found religion
You might consider Associated Press reporter Tom Breen to be the anti-William Lobdell. Breen recently told me he eventually became a weekly Mass attendee after educating himself on the Catholic abuse scandals for his journalism job. His story is quite the opposite from Lobdell, whose work on the religion beat at the Los Angeles Times caused him to drop his faith and write Losing My Religion.

Digging deeper on the bridal beat
No matter how high a reporter’s aspirations, there’s something about filing stories for the local police blotter that’s always enchanting. A few days ago, a local reporter for the Beaver County Times found himself a pretty big public interest story.
