Religion Dispatches
editIn 2018, Religion Dispatches was integrated into Rewire.News as a daily vertical.[8]
Religion Dispatches was founded in 2007 as a daily non-profit online magazine covering religion, politics, and culture.[9][10] The founders were Gary Laderman, a religion studies scholar from Emory University; Linell Cady, a religion studies scholar from Arizona State University; and Evan Derkacz, a journalist who formerly wrote for AlterNet.[11] Lisa Webster, an editor and religion scholar, joined Evan as co-editor just before the magazine's launch in February 2008.
RD won three Religion Newswriters Association (RNA) awards for Excellence in Religion Commentary and Analysis, a Wilbur Award for outstanding work by secular communicators on religion, and a Science for Religion Writers award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).[12][13][14][15] The website was also recognized as a nominee for the Webby Awards in the Religion & Spirituality category for the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 Webby Awards, and as an official Honoree for Best Editorial Writing in 2016.[16][17]
In October 2013, Religion Dispatches moved to the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism's website. Diane Winston, chairman of Media and Religion at USC, headed the publication.[18]
