Writing about religion can be a difficult task, and for many novice journalists it may present a number of quandaries. One helpful resource is the ReligionLink website, which is designed to help "journalists write informed stories about the ways religion affects public life". Edited by Diane Connolly, who served as the religion editor of the Dallas Morning News, the site contains weekly updates with a number of story ideas related to ongoing subjects related to religion. Archives of these updates are available on the site, and may be browsed by topic, which include such helpful classifications as ethics, clergy abuse, books, volunteerism, and several others. Recent areas of coverage include a guide to experts on religion and pop culture (complete with contact information) and the nature of the ongoing debate over stem-cells.
