Protestant Church: Tough Cuts Debate on Church Media Work

The Bavarian Protestant Church is facing financial pressures leading to significant cuts in church media activities, affecting various media outlets that provide religious content.

The Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche in Bayern (ELKB) is currently grappling with financial constraints that are prompting the church leadership to implement harsh cuts in its media operations. This decision follows the announcement that ELKB would terminate its funding agreement with the Evangelischer Presseverband in Bayern by the end of the year. The Evangelischer Presseverband encompasses the well-known 'Sonntagsblatt' and the regional arm of the Evangelischer Pressedienst, which offers church-related news and content to private media outlets.
