We are pleased to share that the Religion News Association (RNA), the largest professional organization for religion journalism in the United States, recently honored the Revealer with a major award!

At the Religion News Association’s annual awards ceremony on October 7, 2021, the RNA honored the Revealer with the award for “Excellence in Magazine Overall Religion Coverage,” the highest award for a print or online religion magazine.

The award for “Excellence in Magazine Overall Religion Coverage” honored work published in 2020. The awards jury highlighted the Revealer’s special issue from March 2020 titled “Religion and Sex Abuse Within and Beyond the Catholic Church.” The jury commented that the Revealer “succeeds in taking the much-scrutinized topic of clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and extending the analysis to similar improprieties found in other diverse religious institutions. The Revealer mines new unexplored territory in the sadly continuing tale of sexual misconduct committed by those most trusted to lead and protect those who are most vulnerable.”

Congratulations to all of the writers in that special issue and to everyone who worked on the Revealer in 2020!

And we have even more good news to share from the 2021 Religion News Association awards: three Revealer writers swept the award category for “Excellence in Religion Commentary,” winning first, second, and third prizes. Congratulations to Kaya Oakes, Tia Pratt, and Rebecca Epstein-Levi for sweeping these awards!

We are thrilled with this recognition. And we are tremendously grateful to the Religion News Association, all of our writers, our staff, and our wonderful readers for their support!
