There’s not a lot of religion reporting in Canada nowadays. When institutional religion declined, the “religion beat” did too.
Jacob McNair has been digging into religion reporting for an upcoming feature in the Ryerson Review of Journalism. He talks about why religion reporting is “pretty sparse” in Canada, gaps in mainstream coverage, and how the denominational press has changed in response.
Then Jacob speaks with Mary Hynes, host of CBC Radio’s Tapestry, a show about spirituality and the search for meaning. She talks about covering a subject that sometimes “defies what we think of as news”—and why these stories are still relevant.
Jacob McNair’s feature, “Spiritual Journey: In search of Canada’s remaining religion reporters” will be published in the Ryerson Review of Journalism this April.
