"Speaking of Faith," a talk radio show from American Public Media, got some great coverage from The New York Times this week.
Creator and host Krista Tippett describes her radio show as a vocation: “I get asked if I consider this show a ministry. I do like the word ‘vocation,’ a calling. If it is a ministry, it’s a ministry of listening rather than talking.”
That, friends, is the beauty of journalism. The focus is not on the storyteller, but rather on the story-maker.
Finally, I love how Tippett describes the religion beat:
“Religion is a touchy subject. You’re really getting at the core of people’s identities, an intimate place. This religious sphere in our public life is very charged, and I want to disarm that.”
