NWI: National Media Conference Discusses Religious Programming
16 June 2005
In June, Mal Fletcher visited the conference of the UK Churches Media Council. The conference brings together producers, broadcasters, writers, presenters, editors and others who are involved in religious programming for mainstream media companies.
Mal took part in a panel discussion on the opportunities available for sharing the Christian message in mainstream media. The panel also featured a humanist philosopher, the leader of a Christian marketing company, the producer of the BBC hit series The Monastery, and the head of history, arts and religion for Channel 4.
One of the event's leaders described the session as 'one of the strongest, most stimulating opening sessions we have ever known at [this conference].'
After the event, Mal said: 'It was great to take part in a very stimulating session like this one, debating an issue which is very important to all Christians in media.' The event also featured a keynote speech from the Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson.
