The IU Media School and the IU Department of Religious Studies has established a collaboration to enhance journalistic competence in covering religion. This partnership is exemplified by the “Covering Ireland” course Winni Sullivan co-taught with Elaine Monaghan as part of the “Perceptions of Religion” project funded by ACLS/Luce and directed by IU professor of practice Elaine Monaghan (Journalism, IUB). Further development of this initiative will involve faculty across the Department of Religious Studies.
