GetReligion has another example of how standard reporting ignores the obvious religious angles to stories. When an interviewee makes a religious statement, why do reporters so often leave those behind? Is it because they are concerned about alienating readers of other faiths? But how does it alienate a reader to hear that someone responded to tragedy with faith? Ultimately, what is a very central part of the experience for the sufferer is excised by the journalist. It doesn’t have to be that way.
