What Journalists Say About Religionsource

"As time goes on, I use ReligionSource more and more. News events are happening so quickly these days, and often I need an expert about everything from Islam to the Historical Jesus — and fast. I have been delighted with the sources made available to me and with their expertise."
Deborah Caldwell
Beliefnet

"Religionsource.org is a highly useful media resource. We not only get the names and phones, but e-mails. Of particular use is the precise listing of publications, which provides a feel of expertise and track record."
Richard Ostling
Associated Press

"Thanks again for your help last week suggesting names so quickly online for my story about the morality of killing during war. It was a one-day turn around and on a Friday when so many profs are gone by lunch. Those home phone numbers made the difference."
Patricia Rice
St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"I took a long shot and asked for a source with such specific criteria that I didn't really expect an answer. Religionsource came back with three."
Deb Richardson-Moore
The Greenville (SC) News

"I was especially impressed that you were able to track down a Canadian expert for me. I find many U.S.-based outfits are 'out of the loop' when it comes to Canada and Canadian experts, but you guys are right on top of things."
Sharon Boase
The Hamilton Spectator

"I love Religionsource. ... For national contacts, it's invaluable, Especially when I'm on deadline and in a pinch. Thanks much for this service."

"I'm now making calls to potential sources. (This is a fantastic site, by the way)."
Simone Orendain
WNIJ (Northern Illinois PBS affiliate)

"Religionsource is a vital tool for finding experts who provide deep understanding and national and international context on deadline. I have the website bookmarked and I use it often."
Shelby Oppel
The Oregonian

"I absolutely love Religionsource. I am relatively new to the religion beat and both the online service and phone help I get from the kind folks at the American Academy of Religion is unbelievable. I can't believe you can type in a subject matter and up pops the experts with the books they've written and even their home phone numbers. I can't believe this is a free service as well."
Lisa Fernandez
San Jose Mercury News

"I can't imagine how much more difficult my job would be if not for the centralized resources of ReligionSource.org. … I know where to turn as my first stop (sometimes one-stop) when 'shopping.'"
