When communicating with the media, faith leaders often cite their own lack of resources or media savvy as the biggest challenges to collaborating effectively. Members of the media cite lack of time, resources, and limited opportunities to interact with members of diverse faiths as challenges on their side. The result is that people in these industries are reluctant to engage, leading to incomplete, inaccurate, or even negative portrayals of faith in media, and society.



Improving the connection and communication between faith leaders and the media industry solves a missed opportunity, ensuring more accurate depictions of faith and spirituality that brings people together in shared understanding and a more empathetic, less divisive society.
