Our Purpose
The stories we tell shape our society. Yet while 80% of people identify with a religion, mainstream media often demonizes, stereotypes or ignores faith. This drives misunderstanding, scapegoating, even violence. The Faith and Media Initiative helps storytellers of all sizes represent faith more authentically. It’s not just good for society, it’s good media.
Get InvolvedTogether we can help media tell a more authentic story about faith.
Change this big doesn’t happen in a silo. The Coalition for Faith & Media is a worldwide network of media professionals, researchers and respected voices whose advocacy drives the Faith & Media movement.
