Telling the Stories of Faith and the Faithful (New York) [1]
[]
Date: 2023-04
In this one-day workshop, working journalists who want to improve and enhance their coverage and understanding of faith and faith communities will convene with experts and peers.
During a daylong series of speakers, panels and peer work, participants will:
Learn where and how to find faith communities in their coverage area.
Find connections within those communities to their leaders and citizens.
Learn how to build source lists and create relationships before news breaks.
Be encouraged to think through how people of faith (whether religious leaders or believers) can be incorporated into everyday stories.
Engage in conversation about how news stories centered on faith elements might be pitched for visibility.
Learn how to find experts who can speak on complex faith topics.
Understand the role of faith coverage to stakeholders, or those directly affected by your coverage, whether they are authorities or experts because of their lived experiences.
How to build a contact list that works to get the people you need, the best way to use it, and how to utilize it to open doors for your coverage.
What to focus on when reporting on faith and religion, especially considering the changing religious landscape.
Take away helpful lessons from current coverage of antisemitism, Islam, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and other current examples.
