Sign-In Help
Below are links to Sign-in Help for your group. However, if you are journalist,
feel free just to contact us for
assistance.
Journalists at News Outlets
If you work at a news outlet, sign in the first time by . . .
-
scrolling to the Journalist Sign-In form at the bottom of any Religionsource
web page
-
entering in your email address at your news outlet
-
entering your first and last name
-
selecting your beat
-
entering the name of your news outlet
-
clicking the Sign-in button
If you get an error message, you may have mistyped your email address or have
used an address other than the one at your news outlet. If despite having
entered the correct address you still get an error message, please
contact us.
After your initial sign-in—so long as your information remains
unchanged—for subsequent sign-in you need enter only your email address at
your news outlet in the appropriate box and click Sign-in.
If your beat changes, simply enter in your email address at your news outlet,
choose the beat you now work, and click Sign-in.
If your email address changes, refill in all five boxes.
Freelance Journalists
At the bottom of the Religionsource home
page, there's a Freelancers link taking you to a request that you
email us the information below.
-
your name and phone number
-
the name of the news outlet you are on assignment for, or names of the outlets
with which you will try to place your story
-
citations for at least two other articles you've had published
If you haven't received authorization within one
business day (or you need quicker authorization) or if even after
receiving authorization, the Religionsource website isn't allowing you to sign
in and search, please call us.
Journalism Professors
If you are a journalism professor teaching a course that includes writing on
religion, send us an email requesting
authorization to search Religionsource. Include your full name, your faculty
position and the name of your institution. If you've done that and haven't
received authorization within two business
days (or you need quicker authorization) or if even after receiving
authorization the Religionsource website isn't allowing you to sign in and
search, please call us.
If you are a journalism professor teaching a course that includes writing on
religion and you would like to authorize your class to use this database,
email us with the following: your name, position, email address, and
phone number; the name of the course and of your institution; and a list of the
names and email addresses of the students in your class. (We require this
process in order to deter general students or members of the public from
bothering scholars with queries that are more appropriately answered by
visiting a library.) If within five business
days you haven't received an email response back from us or if despite
having received an emailed confirmation from us your students report receiving
error messages when they attempt to sign in, please
call us.
Journalism Students
At the bottom of the Religionsource home
page, there's a Journalism Students link taking you to a request that
you send your journalism professor (or the faculty advisor for your school's
news outlet) an email that includes your email address, phone number and
school, and the name of the course (or outlet). Ask the professor to add his or
her name and faculty position to your email and to forward the email to
source@religionsource.org.
If you've confirmed with your professor that he or she has forwarded your email
to us and two business days have
passed without receiving an email from us, please
email us again.
If months ago you received authorization that worked, your authorization may
have since expired (student authorizations are valid for six months). Request a
renewal of your authorization using the same process you used for your original
authorization.
Scholars
If you are a scholar seeking tips on being effective with the news media, you do
not need to sign in. Simply click on Scholars Only in the menu bar at the top
of any Religionsource page.
To sign in, go to the Scholar Sign-In
page. If you receive an error message in response to your attempt to sign in,
make sure you have followed the directions on that page and correctly entered
your Username and Password. If you continue to have difficulty signing in,
please contact us.
