Briefings
Aiming to help journalists discover more about stories in the news, finding new angles, deepening understanding and conversing with those who make the news. The briefings are open to all and have proved particularly valuable for journalists and media professionals.
Upcoming Briefings:
Our regular briefings on stories about religion in the news, give context and background with panellists who explain and comment on the story. We welcome suggestions from organisations bringing out books, reports or research, who would like to collaborate with us on organising a briefing. National and regional journalists join specialist correspondents on our calls and our recordings on our YouTube channel reach thousands. The briefings are also turned into podcasts and a written report is published on our website News section. To offer ideas or get on the mailing list for notice of future briefings: [email protected]
