Rewire.News (formerly Rewire and RH Reality Check, long name Reproductive Health Reality Check) is a daily United States online news publication focused on reproductive and sexual health from a pro–reproductive rights perspective.[2][3][4] It also covers issues around racial, environmental, immigration, and economic justice.[4]

The publication began as a blog in 2006 and became its own nonprofit organization in January 2012.[5] In 2016, it was renamed Rewire and in 2018 it was renamed Rewire.News. As of 2018, the publication is edited by Jodi Jacobson.[6]

In addition to reporting news, the publication also produces several podcasts, including Boom! Lawyered,[7][8] Choice/less,[8] The Breach,[8] and What Else Happened.[8]

Religion Dispatches

In 2018, Religion Dispatches was integrated into Rewire.News as a daily vertical.[9]

Religion Dispatches was founded in 2007 as a daily non-profit online magazine covering religion, politics, and culture.[10][11] The founders were Gary Laderman, a religion studies scholar from Emory University; Linell Cady, a religion studies scholar from Arizona State University; and Evan Derkacz, a journalist who formerly wrote for AlterNet.[12] Lisa Webster, an editor and religion scholar, joined Evan as co-editor just before the magazine's launch in February 2008.

RD won three Religion Newswriters Association (RNA) awards for Excellence in Religion Commentary and Analysis, a Wilbur Award for outstanding work by secular communicators on religion, and a Science for Religion Writers award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).[13][14][15][16] The website was also recognized as a nominee for the Webby Awards in the Religion & Spirituality category for the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015 Webby Awards, and as an official Honoree for Best Editorial Writing in 2016.[17][18]

In October 2013, Religion Dispatches moved to the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism's website. Diane Winston, chairman of Media and Religion at USC, headed the publication.[19]
