Media Committee:
The purpose of this committee is multifold. Primarily,
it will be to organize a group of dedicated individuals who would
monitor the Canadian media (TV, radio, print) for content of interest to
Muslims, and who would help to formulate appropriate responses to such
issues. The purpose is not for the committee to act as one voice, but
rather to aid in researching and writing proper responses that reflect
the Muslim community's interests and concerns. Such responses can then
be disseminated to the Muslim community, and members of the community
would be encouraged to use the ideas in our response to produce their
own appropriate reaction to the issue at hand. The idea is to create a
sense of solidarity, as well as responsibility, when it comes to dealing
with the media's portrayal of Muslims and their issues.
Another purpose for this group is to encourage Muslim
youth to consider pursuing careers in the media. No doubt, there is a
desperate need for Muslims to represent their community in the media,
and the Media Committee can help to organize seminars, information
publications, etc., to aid young Canadian Muslims who are interested in
this field.
Communication between members of this committee may be
done to a great extent via internet (email), although meetings may
arranged as needed and as possible for the members. The details of the
committee's organization can be decided upon by the people who form it.
