Suburban faith leaders seek ‘nuance’ in religion reporting
Suburban religious leaders urge a more nuanced approach to media coverage of faith communities that goes beyond scandals and formulaic stories of festivals and observances. A bishop, a rabbi, an imam, and a church spokesman came together for a panel discussion Thursday to talk about how journalists can tell stories about faith, spirituality and core beliefs. It was hosted by the Northern Illinois Newspaper Association at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb. Rabbi Margaret Frisch Klein of Congregation Kneseth Israel in Elgin said the line between opinion and news is blurred and people's understanding of truth and facts differ."Religion, though, isn't necessarily about truth.

The Latest: Feds: Anti-extremism unfocused on race, religion
BOSTON – The Latest on federally funded efforts to prevent domestic terrorism (all times local): 3 p.m. A Department of Homeland Security spokesman says the agency's approach to preventing domestic terrorism isn't based on race or religion, even as some locally funded efforts have chosen to focus on specific minority or Muslim communities. Chad Wood is a Homeland Security spokesman who responded to The Associated Press on Thursday after the news cooperative published a report on anti-extremism efforts five years after the Boston Marathon bombings. He says local cities and states have the flexibility to tailor their domestic terrorism prevention programs based on their "unique challenges and demographics." But he says the department agrees that extremism and radicalization exists across all cultures. In Massachusetts, where a $425,000 federal terrorism prevention program in Boston is focused on the Somali community, some Somali leaders have complained that the focus on … [Read more...] about The Latest: Feds: Anti-extremism unfocused on race, religion
