The intersection of media layoffs and religion

PrayingForPapers combines newspaper layoff updates with sincere prayers for the well-being of the industry and its employees. Webmaster Mike Koehler, whose day job is deputy sports editor at the Oklahoman, told me, “I can’t get the picture out of my head of some guy and his family at the kitchen table trying to figure out what to do next. If you work at a paper, there’s general few options for you in a city. That said, I felt like the least I could do was encourage everyone to be intentional about remembering their colleagues, pray for them, think about them, know that we are all in this together.”
