Women's Interfaith Media Literacy provides information and resources. It helps you to share concerns with other women of faith, interact effectively with all the media and make your voices heard by broadcasters and the press.
This workshop will help you:
v become more knowledgeable about how the media work;
v learn some basic skills for dealing with the media and journalists;
v network with other women of faith with similar concerns;
The Programme will include a mixture of talks and presentations from local journalists and broadcasters, group discussions and practical exercises.
The workshop is led by Dr Jim McDonnell,
media consultant to WIML, and Sandra Herbert, radio broadcaster
and media specialist for the Christian Muslim Forum.
