At a time when so much religion reporting has disappeared, it’s inspiring to hear that NPR is expanding its coverage of religion and spirituality with 2 new hires! Welcome @burkedaniel13 and @sarazonah

So thrilled about the food panel organized by @reporterdeepa , @NarangNimarta , & @HollyAMeyer . A beautiful discussion & act of breaking bread. They even let me help serve chai & samosas from the local gurdwara. It feels good to watch ppl eat together during this moment. #RNA2024

It’s so disheartening how many people (of different faiths) at #RNA2024 have mentioned that journalists are still not building relationships w/ religious communities outside of calling them after a terrorist attack or something similarly horrible. We’ve gotta work on this y’all

At the panel discussing the tragedy at Tree of Life, we are reminded that in Judaism, the mourner’s kaddish (the prayer said to memorialize someone) does not mention death, but does reference life. #RNA2024

At #RNA2024 @Rowaida_Abdel says that while Muslims in America don’t have a majority ethnicity, we almost always equate Muslims and Arabs, and thereby flatten the stories of non-Arab Muslims and non-Muslim Arabs.

On the #RNA2024 panel on Muslim frustrations around Islamophobia, Christine Mohamed from @CAIR_PITTSBURGH said she regularly invites journalists to iftars, community events, etc and they don’t engage. The only time they reach out is when something tragic happens.

Please read this incredibly important and well reported story from @judejoffeblock . And while you’re doing it, keep in mind this thread about the people who tried to go after her because she dared to do such reporting.

Tweet card media

A flyer in her name told migrants to vote for Biden. But she says she didn't write it

Viral images of the flyer were filmed in portable toilets of a migrant camp in Mexico, and they energized members of Congress. But NPR's reporting suggests the flyer is not what it purports to be.
