She’s Covered the News for 20 Years. Here’s How Faith Kept Her Hopeful. – Niala Boodhoo

But she’s choosing a different approach—bringing together two things journalists have traditionally kept separate: faith and the news. In this episode, Niala joins host Julie Rose to talk about why she’s done keeping faith on the sidelines and what it might add to the way we understand the news and each other.
