Terry Mattingly rightly praises the people at Poynter Institute for seeing post US election coverage as an opportunity to begin to foster right understanding in the gaps and polarization between voters, language and viewpoints.

I’m happy to report that the journalists over at the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla., (pictured) have used the surge in “values gap” reporting as a hook for another yet effort to appeal to newsroom managers to get their act together on faith issues. Aly Colon, leader of the think tank’s ethics and diversity programs, wrote the lead article in the package and, I am happy to report, urged journalists to take advantage of the information and opinions expressed at websites such as TheRevealer, ReligionLink and, yes, GetReligion.

The four Poynter Institute articles are here.
