Welcome to The Media
Guide to Islam: A Journalist’s Guide to Covering Islam.
This site is developed for journalists, by journalists with
the aim of helping ensure accuracy when covering Islam and
Muslims in the United States.
Sept. 11, 2001 dramatically changed coverage of Islam and
Muslims in the U.S. This site provides necessary background
and basic information about Islam in the U. S. as a religion,
and as a cultural, social and political structure.
The site is intended for journalists looking for a primer
on Islam and Muslims living in the U.S. Each section provides
straightforward information for anyone on deadline, and
many of the sections have links, additional readings, resources
and experts.
While the site is not intended for foreign correspondents
or journalists covering the Middle East conflict, reporters
and editors covering those beats may find the content valuable.
