United Methodist Reporter is a weekly newspaper published by UMR Communications, a Dallas-based nonprofit religious communications network. Since 1996, UMR Communications has been active on the Internet with its Website, Reporter Interactive. The organization made a major commitment to electronic publishing during the recent United Methodist General Conference when, for the first time, its news stories were published daily on Reporter Interactive and then transferred into print for the weekly United Methodist Reporter. In addition, UMR published Webcast news reports for the first time in May. ``The Internet offers a fast, powerful medium for disseminating our messages to people around the world,'' said the Rev. Ronald P. Patterson, publisher and CEO of UMR Communications. ``A partnership with a leading site like iBelieve.com allows us to communicate the message of Christ to a whole new audience that we might not otherwise have reached.''
