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.
