E142: FAVS News Service

In this episode, Rebecca sits down with Tracy Simmons, founder of FAVS News, a unique regional wire service dedicated to reporting on religion, ethics, and values across the Pacific Northwest. Tracy shares the story of launching a religion news startup in the wake of the 2008 recession, how it grew from a local Spokane project into a multi-state newsroom with freelancers, columnists, and national syndication, and why religion reporting—done thoughtfully and ethically—matters now more than ever. They discuss what it means to cover faith communities without proselytizing, why younger journalists are increasingly drawn to the beat, and how local religion stories shape everything from politics to public life. A deep dive into journalism, curiosity, community, and the growing demand for nuanced coverage of belief in all its forms.
