The Coalition for Faith & Media launched in 2023 with three task forces. Each offer opportunities to convene and share ideas, develop and promote long-term strategies and resources for change, and act as advisors and thought leaders on various projects.
Generating frequent, more balanced depictions of faith, religion, and belief in news and entertainment—helping people of faith feel represented in mainstream media
Creating space and cultural permission to talk about religion, faith, and spirituality in modern society—sparking a deeper understanding of faith communities and the role that faith plays in civil society
Promoting increased understanding and social cohesion between media and religious institutions—restoring trust and increasing perceived value among their customers and members
Facilitating the strong, collaborative relationship between faith, media, and key stakeholders that’s essential for the culture change the Coalition seeks.
Increasing accurate faith-related storytelling in media by leveraging expert, third-party research, workshops, thought leadership, and development of new services and products that support the media’s market needs.
Media companies often lack diverse faith perspectives that align with the make-up of the communities and audiences they serve. Including faith as part of the media industry’s internal DEI efforts has the potential to improve and deepen how faith is depicted in news and entertainment.
Published global research studies that validate the need for faith and media to work together more collaboratively and identify key opportunities for improvement.
