"The Revealer" (TheRevealer.org) is an online journal/review of media criticism related to the subject of religion in the press. It is published by the Center for Religion and Media at New York University, one of ten academic "centers of excellence" created by the Pew Charitable Trusts to support scholarship and journalism about religion. "The Revealer" was conceived in 2003 by Jay Rosen, who hired journalist Jeff Sharlet to create the site. Also involved were Angela Zito, Faye Ginsburg, and Barbara Abrash, New York University scholars, and journalist Kathryn Joyce.

"The Revealer" publishes writers from across the political spectrum, from Harper's contributing editor Garret Keizer to centrist Washinton journalist Amy Sullivan to conservative Dallas Morning News editor Rod Dreher to religiously and politically unclassifiable writers such as Michael Lesy and Laurel Snyder. "The Revealer" also publishes a number of formal academic scholars, such as Elizabeth A. Castelli (Bard) Adam H. Becker (NYU), Anthea Butler (University of Rochester, Diane Winston (University of Southern California) David Domke (University of Washington), Ann Pellegrini (NYU), Kim E. Pearson, and S. Brent Plate (Texas Christian University). In general, "The Revealer" tends to take a leftist position. In 2004, it was joined on the "God beat" by Get Religion, a conservative-leaning media criticism journal dedicated to religion, edited by Terry Mattingly and Douglas LeBlanc. More "God beat" bloggers and journalists soon followed, building a small but lively community of journalists and scholars dedicated to examining media treatments of religion.

"The Revealer" has been cited by The New York Times, the academic journal "Religion in the News," on CNN, BBC, Radio France, and on numerous American national radio programs,
