About
Religion | Newswriters

Religion Newswriters Association was founded in 1949 by 12 religion beat journalists gathered to cover a denominational meeting of Presbyterians. RNA grew steadily throughout the years and by 2006 included more than 500 members and subscribers, about two-thirds of whom are journalists.

The association helps journalists cover religion with balance, accuracy and insight. It does so by providing tools and training, including this stylebook.

RNA’s foundation, created in 1999, serves to improve the public’s understanding of religion. Its projects and services reach more than 7,000 journalists each week.

The Religion Newswriters Association and its Foundation provide dozens of resources. (As of this printing, all services are free, although some services are restricted to members only). Click here to visit rna.org.

• Accurate titles for religious leaders in different traditions;
• Pronunciation guides;
• Entries on terms used in stories on current topics in the news, including abortion, homosexuality, church/state issues and intelligent design;
