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

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 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.)
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 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.
