Yesterday, November 1, the News Literacy Project held an event at a high school in Chicago, in which religion reporters spoke to high school students. The event was titled, “Covering Religion: How to Balance Facts and Faith in the Search for Truth.” If you missed my tweets from the event, check it out now at www.twitter.com/religionblogger.
The event was moderated by Art Norman, anchor at NBC5 Chicago and included three panelists:
- Manya Brachear, religion reporter for the Chicago Tribune
- Odette Yousef, reporter for WBEZ (Chicago public radio)
- Kevin Eckstrom, editor-in-chief of Religion News Service
Watch this video to hear the panelists answer a student’s question:
“How do you balance fact and faith when reporting religion?”
