Christian News Watch
Our brand new news application replaces the old 'Christianity in the news' page and has many new features and more to come. In our post Christian country most media sources place a low priority on news that features Christian content. Newspapers are more likely to have a regular page on Horoscopes or their website have news feed( RSS) for the local football team than for Christianity. In the week that the BBC appointed a Muslim as head of religious broadcasting, WhyChurch launches its new service to keep an eye on what the media is reporting.
Using technology
News Watch is at work all day and night searching out stories about the Christian faith and puts them in its database, just so you can find the one you want. Computer software can deliver what it would take an army of people to do, and it never needs to take a break. New technology means more accurate search results and always having the latest news. Like they say today, it's better to work smarter not harder.
