Covering religion can be complex and knowing the best ways to approach sources in the faith community will make your job easier. Join the Greater Cincinnati Society of Professional Journalists for a discussion with religious leaders on how they work with the press. What do they think of news coverage of faith issues? How can it be done better? What's the proper protocol in interacting with religious groups? How hard should journalists push religious groups for information? The panel is a chance for both media and faith representatives to open the lines of communication for better, more accurate coverage.
Panelists are:
Hal Porter, Pastor Emeritus of Mt Auburn Presbyterian Church
Karen Dabdoub, executive director of the Cincinnati branch of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Robert Friedly, former vice president of public relations for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), Indianapolis
Brian Jaffee, director of the Jewish Community Relations Council at the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati
Dan Andriacco, communications director for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati
Moderated by Rebecca Bowman Woods, news editor of DisciplesWorld Magazine. Q&A with audience following panel. For more information, please contact Aiesha Little, GC SPJ vice president/programming chair, at aiesha_little@yahoo.com
