Terry Mattingly

Terry Mattingly's father was a pastor and his mother is a language arts teacher, so it's no surprise that Terry's career has blended religion, journalism, and teaching. Mattingly has worked as a reporter and religion columnist at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, and at the Charlotte Observer and Charlotte News, before those two newspapers merged. In 1991, Mattingly began teaching at Denver Seminary and later became a founding member of the Association for Communications and Theological Education. After a decade of leading a summer journalism program for the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, Mattingly moved inside the Beltway to serve as director of the new Washington Journalism Center. He is now senior fellow for media and religion at The King's College in New York City, tackles the implication of religion in current events in his column, On Religion.

Mattingly's writing regularly appears in The Lookout, Again Magazine, on the website Beliefnet.com, as well as in numerous other publications. He also leads the GetReligion.org website, which critiques the mainstream media's coverage of religion news. Mattingly is a prodigal Texan who has never met a mountain he didn't love. He is a music fanatic whose interests range from Celtic acoustic guitar to Russian chant. His wife, Debra Bridges Mattingly, is a librarian in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. They have two children and are members of Holy Cross Orthodox Church in Linthicum, Maryland.
