Religion News Service (RNS) and Interfaith America are pleased to announce the Religion Journalism Fellowship is returning for its fifth year. This fellowship, which will run from September 2025 to May 2026, helps future religion news journalists develop their awareness of the impact of faith on politics and culture by deepening their understanding of religious expression and building skills specific to covering belief, spirituality, interfaith cooperation and civic pluralism in America. “In each of the four years of this fellowship, we’ve seen the fellows sharpen their skills and gain confidence as reporters as they tackle topics that interest them deeply and provide real narrative challenges,” says Paul O’Donnell, editor-in-chief at Religion News Service. “Anyone interested in religious journalism, or who just wants to add an awareness of religion to their current storytelling scope can benefit from this program.”  The 2025-26 fellowship builds on the success of the four previous reporting cohorts, in which more than two dozen stories by 15 fellows appeared on RNS, Interfaith America Magazine and in RNS subscriber publications.

Snoop Dogg says he hopes to set up a burger van at Celtic’s stadium and wants to serve fans himself. The US rapper, 53, has described the football club’s supporters as “special” and the best fans in European football. And Snoop, who played Glasgow‘s OVO Hydro arena in 2023, has also said he strongly identifies with the club’s mascot Hoopy the Hound. He said a fast-food van at Celtic Park would become a foodie “Paradise” which is a nickname for the ground in the Parkhead area of the city. Image: Celtic Park. Pic: AP Snoop told the Sunday Mail: “I would love to bring a pop-up burger [van] to a sports stadium to show fans that food at stadiums can be good. “It’s got to be Celtic Park, man. The secret to a good burger is the love in the preparation. The ground beef has got to be mixed with some secret spices, then add a good quality cheese and some maple-cured bacon. “The Celtic fans are gonna love it, and to make sure they …

Alcaraz returns to French Open final after ailing Musetti retires

PARIS : Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz composed himself after a slow start before charging into back-to-back French Open finals when eighth seed Lorenzo Musetti retired with a left thigh injury while trailing 4-6 7-6(3) 6-0 2-0 on Friday. Alcaraz, who is attempting to become only the third man to retain his Roland Garros title this century after Rafa Nadal and Gustavo Kuerten, will face either world number one Jannik Sinner or 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in Sunday’s final. “It’s never great to go through like this,” Alcaraz said, before hailing Musetti’s achievement of reaching at least the semi-finals of all four elite claycourt events this year. “He’s a great player, he has had an incredible claycourt season … I wish him a speedy recovery and I’m sure we’ll be enjoying his tennis pretty soon.” Musetti twice denied Alcaraz the chance to break in the opening nine games before the 23-year-old suddenly dialled up the intensity and snatched the opening set when his Spanish opponent produced errors in a poor service game. A frustrated …

According to renowned psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, M.D., trauma isn’t just a painful memory; it actually changes brain function, often leaving us stuck in a sense of danger. His 2014 book The Body Keeps the Score sparked a global conversation about the lasting effects of trauma and the path to healing.

Published by Sam

PARIS :Second seed Coco Gauff brushed aside Russian Ekaterina Alexandrova 6-0 7-5 on Monday to move into the French Open quarter-finals and stay on course for her first title in Paris. Gauff, who got to the final in 2022 and semi-finals last year, is the youngest American player to reach at least the fourth round at seven consecutive Grand Slams since Venus Williams between 1997-1999. The Americans are guaranteed another quarter-finalist with Australian Open champion Madison Keys facing Hailey Baptiste in the round of 16 later on Monday. The winner faces Gauff. Fellow American and third seed Jessica Pegula, however, failed to join Gauff in the last eight after crashing out to France’s 361st-ranked Lois Boisson after a three-set battle. Five American women and three American men reached the fourth round in Paris this year to equal a 40-year-old record. Russian teenager Mirra Andreva also punched her last eight ticket after overcoming Australian 17th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-3 7-5 to become the youngest player to reach back-to-back French Open quarter-finals in nearly three decades.
