Covering faith: How journalists can build trust in their community
Tuesday, June 14, 2022
WASHINGTON, June 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 75 percent of Americans say religion is an important part of their lives. How do these Americans see themselves and their faith reflected in news coverage? What does reporting on faith get right and wrong? How do editors and reporters think about who they're reaching with these stories and who they've lost? And how might this coverage build trust in journalism among communities who have been historically misrepresented?
Registration is open for this program, which will take place on Friday, June 24 at 11:30 a.m. ET. Participants will learn:
-- How journalists of faith navigate challenges from inside their newsrooms
and from inside their faith communities
-- Whose faith is centered in coverage and whose is marginalized,
mischaracterized, or misunderstood
-- Which best practices can help extend our community's understanding of
itself
The program will also surface suggestions for covering people of faith and faith practices in ways that broaden reach and build credible connections in the communities journalists serve.
Panelists include:
-- Dawn Araujo-Hawkins, news editor at Christian Century; vice president at
Religion News Association
-- Alison Bethel, vice president of corps excellence at Report for America
-- Sarah Breger, editor at Moment Magazine
-- McKay Coppins, staff writer at The Atlantic
-- Richard Flory, executive director at USC Center for Religion and Civic
Culture
-- Aysha Khan, journalist and Harvard Divinity School student
-- Holly Meyer, religion news editor at The Associated Press
-- Bill Mitchell, publisher, CEO, and president at the National Catholic
Reporter
-- Paul O'Donnell, editor-in-chief at Religion News Service
The conversation will be moderated by Julie Moos, the Institute's Executive Director, and is supported by an operational grant from the Deseret Management Corporation.
