Yesterday I reported that The Dallas Morning News has ended its religion beat coverage. That was based on information from a newsroom source involved in the decision, but I am told that it was not fully accurate. A metro editor tells me that the newspaper has not had two full-time religion reporters for "quite some time," so this isn't a new thing. Secondly, I am told, when there are big religion stories, the newspaper will continue to turn to reporters with expertise in religion, reporters who are now covering other beats, to report and write about those stories.

Yeah, right. The DMN doesn't believe in Religion other than the one to the Statist. Of all the local scandals it's hardly been worth a wink and nod with no followup. When there is one the reporter gets spanked. The red phone from the Catholic Bishops lights up. Anyone noticed that Bishop Farrell's name is not on the list of Bishops letter to ND?
Mmmm. Isn't a journalist supposed to have at least two, preferably three, reliable sources? Tsk, tsk. :-)
