How much do national media distort stories affecting local
communities and in the process bring more division?
That was the focus of an interview panel session chaired by Mal
Fletcher during the recent Churches Media Council conference in the UK.
The discussion also dealt with the role of media - and especially
Christians in mainstream media - in bringing reconciliation to
difficult communities.
Guests panelists included Barnie Choudhury, a respected BBC TV journalist; Nick Carter, editor of the Leicester Mercury, one of the UK's leading regional daily newspapers; Eustice Constance, a leader with the Street Pastors group and Fran Beckett, Chief Executive of the Church Urban Fund, working to resource the
Church of England's urban ministry.

Mal, you are the man! Great insights on how to stay focused on the truth in a "post-Christian" society and present the message of Jesus in a relevant way to secularized Europeans. Keep it up! Brad, United Kingdom
I was quite surprised to see the EDGES website - a human-transparent site with an inclination towards God. I really like the way you are posting your brilliant reports about issues. Keep up your good work. Pavel, Russia
I often check out your recommended reading section, which includes some excellent books. There's a new title which I highly recommend: 'Simply Christian' by N.T. (Tom) Wright (Bishop of Durham)... Ann, Australia
