Many of today’s international crises have a strong religious component, yet media coverage often omits or oversimplifies these complexities and nuances. The Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs at Georgetown University believes that a deep examination of faith and values is critical to address today’s global challenges, and that the open engagement of religious and cultural traditions with one another can promote peace. With this mission in mind, the Berkley Center has partnered with the Pulitzer Center to support and promote Pulitzer's work by hosting their reporting grantees twice a year for panel discussions and class visits on campus. In addition, the collaboration allows us to offer a student international reporting fellowship. This partnership supports journalism that investigates or illuminates the religious dimension of an international issue, bringing to light what is often overlooked, untold, or misunderstood.
