Fewer US mainstream clergy hold traditional religious beliefs #RNA2025

Participating in the Religious News Association's annual conference (a @RNS partner)

We’re planning our next event and looking for a speaker on protecting digital privacy—especially for journalists who travel. With rising concerns about data security, we want to share practical insights.

Any recommendations?

Appreciate your help

Who would you suggest we speak with?

Thanks
