Geneva-based ENInews suspends operation

Faced with a 50 percent cut in funding in 2011 from the World Council of Churches, the Geneva-based ENInews suspended its five-days-a-week news service on December 21.

The award-winning news agency, also known as Ecumenical News Inter­national, drew its main support from the WCC, although sponsoring groups in­cluded the Lutheran World Federation and the World Communion of Reformed Churches.

The news service—not a public relations arm for the church organizations—was widely respected for its editorial independence and integrity.
