Terry Mattingly, senior fellow and longtime media commentator who writes on religion and the press, discusses newsroom economics and culture. He traces how ad-driven online models and audience-first incentives reshape reporting. He examines signs of partisan activist journalism, the Washington Post’s financial struggles and layoffs, and why religion and culture now steer major political coverage.

Dr. Carrie Gress, scholar of feminism and religion and author of Something Wicked, explores feminism's origins, ideological shape-shifting, and its religious-like structures. She discusses how autonomy became central, the role of abortion, and why feminist ideas spread and mimic Christian institutions. The conversation examines what is lost when feminism reshapes women's roles and how to distinguish reforms from broader ideology.
