What Yunus offers

Collecting:
Yunus collects news articles, analysis and interviews from both freelance journalists, official news agencies, academics and theologians. Yunus also writes its own articles. Yunus thus tries to be a reliable database for religious news between East and West. In so doing Yunus also offers a platform for journalists over the whole world to send in their articles, thus giving the possibility to certain groups that are otherwise less heard in a predominantly 'anglo-saxon' news business to publish their information and point of view.

Filtering:
Yunus tries to retain only the most important and read-worthy articles out of the huge amount of articles that are produced every day. The internet is full of news and it is often difficult to find the most important or most qualitative news. Not everybody has the time to go and search for the news that matters and that truly offers more insight into religious news. Yunus makes it a lot easier.

Analysing:
Yunus also produces its own articles that give more background and deeper insight into the subjects of the news of the moment. Yunus tries to give other opinions and breach sensation and it aims to provide more historical and explanatory information. In short, when needed, Yunus gives those interested in religious news more knowledge about contemporary topics.

Providing:
Yunus sends the collected, filtered and analysed news to the interested readers. When readers subscribe to Yunus they can sign up for newsletters or an RSS feed to be informed about the latest news.

The difference with News Agencies

Quality instead of Quantity
More focus on relevant and necessary theological, anthropological and historical information instead of as much sensation as possible in as many articles as possible.

More a service than a factory
Yunus tries to do something relevant in the field of interreligious dialogue instead of earning by producing articles. It does so by offering qualitative news to subscribed readers and by offering a platform to all journalists, academics and theologians to bring their news, analysis and opinions into the public in one centralised point.

No fixed format
The news and analysis are written as sources of useful information not as news pieces that need to have to a high economic value. The news, opinions, interviews and analysis that can be found on the website can thus have a style that is more compliant with its content instead of forcing it in a format people expect news to be in.

An emphasis on 'constructive' news
There are a lot more sides to religion than extremism and fundamentalism. It is only seldom told in the media. Yunus tries to remedy this by bringing some different news to the front and balancing the news that reaches the public.
