So tmatt kicked off the GetReligion ninth anniversary celebration over the weekend. As we contemplate the future of this site dedicated to critiquing the mass media's coverage of religion news, we want to hand the microphone to you, kind reader.

Why do you read GetReligion?

Yes, we're fishing for compliments. But hey, it's our birthday, so indulge us, OK?

And if you'll say something nice, we'll let you offer a little constructive criticism, too.

Here are a few questions to consider:

-- What kinds of posts do you enjoy most? Least?

-- What could we do to increase our number of comments and foster better conversations?

-- What improvements could we make in our content, approach or presentation?

The microphone is all yours.
