RTE Appoints New Editor of Religious Programmes
18 Oct 2007 :
RTÉ has appointed Roger Childs as Editor of Religious Programmes for Radio and Television. In his new post, to begin on Monday 22nd October 2007, Childs will be responsible for production and commissioning of programmes of worship as well as coverage of religious and spiritual matters for both RTÉ Television and Radio.

Childs has worked in broadcast production for over 18 years as a programme-maker with the BBC, Channel 4, Discovery and WNET (New York). He has 14 years' experience in religious broadcasting, both radio and television, most recently as Series Producer of BBC One's Festival output and previously The Heaven & Earth Show.

Childs, a Trinity College Cambridge graduate, has won several awards including the Sony Radio Award; two European Festival of Religious Broadcasting Awards; two Sandford St Martin Religious Broadcasting Awards and a Campaign for Racial Equality Race in Media Award.

In accepting the position Roger Childs said: "It's a privilege to be taking on this role at a time of such dynamic social and cultural change in Ireland,” said Childs on accepting the position. “Reconciling Ireland's new racing pulse to its older religious heartbeats is a challenge I relish. For a great many people, religion continues to offer inspiration and comfort; a source of meaning and narrative; a sense of belonging and a moral compass. With the right treatment, I know from experience that religion still has the power to attract, move, inform and entertain large mainstream audiences. It deserves its place at the heart of our broadcasting schedules."
