Christianity Today capped off 2022 by releasing its Top-20 news stories of the year based on readership. The vast majority of these stories focused on scandals within the church. In response, our own Patrick Miller took to Twitter to critique the media organization’s focus on negative scandals, which inevitably bring harm to the local church. Christianity Today President, Tim Dalrymple, along with other CT reporters, graciously pushed back on Patrick’s analysis. And today, Patrick and Tim continue that conversation here on the pod! You’ll hear Tim address some tough questions: Are digital incentive structures and targeted advertising bad tactics for Christian media organizations to utilize? How does Christianity Today guard against insights driving editorial decision-making? Has CT made a shift in its frequency of covering church scandals and abuse? Ultimately, Tim explains that CT’s increase in these types of stories comes out of love for the church and is reflective of the current cultural conversation. Listen now!
