News Media

From 2002 to 2015, the AAR provided a free online referral service for journalists called Religionsource. While the online service is no longer available, some of the resources that were posted on the Religionsource website may continue to be useful to journalists and scholars and you’ll find them below.

If you are a journalist needing help finding sources for your story, AAR staff may be able to assist you. Send your name and contact info, outlet name, details about your story, and your deadline to Alice Hunt. AAR staff assistance is limited.
