2009 Nieman Conference on Narrative Journalism: Telling True Stories in Turbulent Times

In the Maker’s Image: When faith and identity are part of the story

Learn how two newspaper writers and a filmmaker have woven issues of faith and religious identity into intricately crafted narratives. When does religion make for good story? What challenges arise for the reporter who trades in trust? How can the narrator’s own faith intrude? This panel will explore the rich opportunities and high risks in writing about religious cultures and people of faith.
