“Islam for Journalists: A Primer on Covering Muslim Communities in the U.S.” presents the work of top academic experts on Islam in a form accessible to working journalists. It includes essays by reporters from The New York Times, the Tennessean and other news organizations who have covered local stories involving Muslims in the U.S.
“Islam is now a story on Main Street USA, and just as they need the basics of business and politics, general assignment reporters these days also need to have a place they can quickly get up to speed on Islam if a story breaks,” said the project’s lead editor, Lawrence Pintak, a former CBS News Middle East correspondent and founding dean of The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University.
Former Chicago Tribune Middle East correspondent Stephen Franklin was co-editor of the project, which was funded by the Social Science Research Council - an independent, not-for-profit international organization that seeks to advance social science throughout the world - and the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Experts contributing to the book include Robert W. Hefner of Boston University, Carl Ernst and Charles Kurzman of the University of North Carolina, Karam Dana and Philip Howard of the University of Washington and other scholars, along with journalists such as Andrea Elliott of The New York Times and Shereen El Feki, formerly of The Economist.
