Faith & Journalism

This is quite the touchy subject to most people that live in America. or anywhere for that matter. Many people believe that God or religion should not be mentioned in public- in school, meetings, or anywhere that isn't in your home or church. So just imagining religion coming up in an article, i assume people get pretty upset. I think that if you are writing an article on religion, one should stay fairly quiet about what their personal views are. One should just state the facts and write an article because in the end thats what they are supposed to be doing anyways. I don't think it is necessary to bring religion up in every article an journalist writes just so everyone knows their stand. Also I don't think religion should be bashed like it was in this article written by Rick Reilly. Like really? does he have to say any of the stuff he did regarding mormons? Articles like that with faith involved are so stupid, and should not be aloud to be published. I think that when writing, faith and religion should only be involved if its about those topics. It should not just be brought up just to be brought up. Another example where religion has been bashed in journalism was during the whole 9/11 tragic events. The muslim faith got rejected, turned on, and talked about pretty badly. In this article you can see how they have been effected. Faith and Journalism are two topics that are hard to put together. With these two many feelings can be hurt, so you have to be very careful.
