First, off I would just like to say that I love going to a school where the topic of religion isn't ignored and where we are encouraged to keep our faith no matter what career we go in. In fact, it seems that we are tought how to be faithful dispite a world that tells us not to be and to stick to the so called "facts".
Second, I love that we are allowed to be relligious and encouraged to hold to our honor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1xzd9CoX8E. This school has taught me a lot. I doubt that I will ever lose my faith and I think it would be impossible for me to not carry that with me in all that I do--journalism especially. Not that I will be brainwashing my audience with propaganda. No, I can still act upon my religion, have objectivity, and still report a good story.
Third, here is a journalist who is LDS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=donMKpPhf18. She says "I always find strength in my faith and I think that's what keeps me going and going".
The examples of journalists of our faith and of other faiths is proof that we can keep our faith and still do good journalism. We need not to cast it aside while we are on the job. Our religion is us--whatever this religion may be--it is in us and apart of us. If we can cast it aside for something like a job then we have no real faith.
Fourth, we can colaborate with other journalists who are like us, holding onto the faith, if we feel like we need a support group in a world where religion is often frowned upon. For example, one could attend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwXpcZmUSqQ a conference based on journalists of faith.
