From Get Religion-
I really should get my click count off to a healthy start in 2019 and write something controversial. At the very least, I should criticize somebody.
Instead, I’m going to do a positive post about an interesting story by one of my favorite journalists on the Godbeat.
Happy new year, Holly Meyer!
Meyer is, as regular GetReligion readers know, the hard-working, prodigious religion writer for The Tennessean, Nashville’s daily newspaper.
The story I want to highlight on this New Year’s Day is an an example of a solid, well-done piece of reporting on the beat. It’s the kind of crucial local journalism that Meyer and Godbeat specialists like her produce day after day.
At a paper without a religion writer (and sadly, there are too many such papers), there’s a 99 percent chance this story would be missed or ignored. Fortunately, The Tennessean has Meyer to recognize the newsworthiness in a prominent local Episcopal priest leaving to become a Roman Catholic.
