Jihadis, but no models, in Libya

One of those news outlets that does consistently great religion coverage, most of it of the global variety, is Reuters. Its Faith World blog is one of the best ways to stay on top of big news from around the world. Case in point — this fascinating story about Macedonians being pressured to convert to Islam in Pakistan. Elswhere on Reuters is a good discussion of how newsrooms should approach graphic image distribution when it comes to showing the corpses of men who’ve died as Moammar Gadhafi did. (Confused about all the spellings for Gadhafi? See here.)

Moderation can be a virtue

Remember back, way back, to August 2010 when the mainstream media was obsessed with the proposed mosque near Ground Zero? It was so fun how nuanced the coverage was, where everyone with even the slightest question about the propriety of its location was labeled an Islamophobe?
