The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) will offer a six-week online course that seeks to bring together U.S. and international journalists to critically examine religion coverage around the world.

Funded by a grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the course will run from March 6 to April 17, 2009. During the course, participants will:

explore religion coverage around the world, sharing a wide range of international resources and professional approaches.
examine the ways religious context is essential in reporting on issues from regional and ethnic conflict to medical ethics.
examine case studies of reporting on religious conflict in the Sudan, the Balkans and Iraq.
share critical insights, resources and strategies with one another on the experience of covering religion around the world.
Award-winning journalist David Briggs will lead the course, which will be conducted in English and is open to 30 participants. The deadline for applications is January 30, 2009.
