Dialogue between Media and Muslims

BeyondHeadlines News Desk

Recent incident at Azad Maidan in Mumbai has stirred many questions amongst the minds of intellectuals, community leaders and also in the Media. At a recent media meet someone tried to argue that Muslims are angry with Media for under reporting/no reporting of community related issues by them, but is that so? Media on the other hand has its own challenges. A great majority of them are fairly unbiased but they work in a system about which the community is least exposed to.

The importance of media and its relevance to the Muslim community cannot be overlooked. It is not only the responsibility of media to highlight issues related to a particular community but the community also needs to make concerted effort to improve its image by reaching out to the media. Nowadays Media is playing key role for spreading news and views, it is also creating new thoughts among youngsters. Media sometime manages issues which could be very strategic to the country and community.

To highlight the importance of good relations with media a dialogue is organised between the community leaders and media so that both sides can present their views and perspective in a more academic and amiable environment. This is primarily aimed at bridging gap between aspirations and realities from both the sides.

We are organizing a discussion on the topic of “Dialogue between Media and Muslims”. In this program we are inviting community leaders, intellectuals, thinkers and respectable personalities from our society. On the other hand media will be represented by Editors, reporters, interpreters, Media activist, and key personalities of various Media houses.
