Reporters and magazines covering religious affairs need proper training and self-regulatory mechanisms to ensure responsible reportage because reporting based on inaccurate information and biases is resulting in irresponsible journalism.
This was the conclusion reached by the speakers who attended a recent three-day training session organized by the Voice Media Network (VMN), a non-governmental media development body, at a hotel.
A large number of editors and staff members working for various religious magazines and journalists covering religious beats attended the training session, whose main focus was on enabling journalists and writers to report on religious affairs constructively and in a manner that does not jeopardise peace and religious harmony.
