We have trained thousands of students, journalists and faculty members around the world by hosting workshops in partnership with other NGO's, news organizations, universities and foundations. Each of our education, training and professional development program includes a focus on religion reporting and understanding. Participants receive academic credit and/or certificates. We have hosted programs in Prague, Czech Republic; Jakarta, Indonesia; Santiago, Chile; and St. Petersburg, Florida among other locations.
We operate ReligionUnplugged.com (RUP), an award-winning online magazine, and its related podcast, video and social media channels. RUP publishes 10-15 pieces per week on religion from our TMP friends and members around the world, including news, enterprise features, commentary and analysis. RUP publishes work both by seasoned, veteran journalists and young journalists who are new to religion reporting. The platform has more than 1 million page views per year, more than 50,000 followers on social media and more than 45,000 people receive our email newsletters.
