U.S. report

NEW YORK (JTA) -- U.S. media coverage of religion doubled during the 1990s, according to a new poll.

Most of the coverage focused on the role of religion in public policy and not on theology or spirituality, according to the poll conducted by the Washington-based Center for Media and Public Affairs.

Protestantism and Catholicism accounted for almost two-thirds of all coverage, while 12 percent of the stories focused on Judaism.

In November 1943, when Mandycz was allegedly serving at the Poniatowa camp, Nazi and SS troops shot 14,000 Jews in a single day.
