Description

PRX seeks Luce Foundation support to extend The World’s “Sacred Nation’” reporting initiative, launched with a grant from the Henry R. Luce Initiative on Religion in International Affairs. In its next phase of work, “Sacred Nation” will examine how religious practices and movements from abroad are reflected and manifested in the US, and how US-based faith practices influence other nations and societies. These stories will be heard on The World, a public radio global news program; published online at TheWorld.org and select distribution partners; and made available via podcast. PRX will also compile and produce two hour-long specials for public radio stations nationwide. Over the course of the project, in addition to regular, ongoing coverage of these topics, PRX anticipates producing six long-form, deeply reported series, as well as holding panel discussions featuring religion experts and journalists from The World.
