The Religious Literacy Project at HDS, in cooperation with Boston University, will host a special symposium on religious literacy in journalism this week, bringing together some of the nation's leading journalists and scholars. The panelists will discuss the need for religious literacy in journalism in light of political and cultural upheavals at home and abroad. Using a series of case studies as a starting point, the panelists will discuss how religion shapes the stories journalists tell and identify strategies for engaging religion in the field and in the journalism classroom.

The event begins Thursday, December 8, at 5:30 pm, with a keynote address by Laurie Goodstein, the national religion correspondent for The New York Times. It continues on Friday, December 9, with several panel discussions. The keynote and these discussions will be streamed live.

The symposium is part of the inaugural Religious Literacy and the Professions Initiative, which is dedicated to enhancing religious literacy within the professions through a symposium series featuring collaborations among professionals, scholars of the profession, and religious studies scholars in the following four fields: journalism, global health, government, and business.
