Media And Sensationalism
27 June 2006
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.
