Each Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly program on PBS features two or three stories reported by a diverse group of journalists and correspondents, as well brief summaries of the week's religion and ethics news. As the only TV magazine both devoted to news about religion and its role in public life and committed to portraying the full religious diversity of the U.S. and the world, the show offers compelling interviews, profiles, in-depth coverage, and thoughtful analysis of news, people, events, and trends behind the headlines that intersect with religion, ethics, and spirituality -- in politics, medicine, foreign policy, science, human rights, immigration, daily life, and much more. The series aims to fill the void in network television's coverage of religion, to take seriously the religious impulse in human life, and to engage the American public in the religious and ethical dimensions of a wide range of domestic and international stories. Also available online on PBS' website, pbs.org/religion.
