К 2013 году американская журналистика пять лет как падала в яму. Кризис 2008-го обрушил рекламную модель прессы; газетные ньюсрумы США за следующее десятилетие потеряли больше половины сотрудников — десятки тысяч профессионалов с опытом, связями и портфолио оказались на улице (ничего не напоминает?).

When the Founding Fathers began their work to unify the colonies, America’s religious landscape looked nothing like today’s marketplace of ideas. Mainline Protestants — Anglicans, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Puritans, Quakers, and Lutherans — dominated the budding nation, and Protestant Christianity was fused with public life.
