ING
Presentations in Media Agencies, 1993-2008 ING offers cultural competency training to editors, reporters and press agents to help them better understand and report on Islam and Muslims with a course called " Getting to Know American Muslims and Their Faith". The seminar is taught onsite and can be offered as a one- or two-hour course. By educating media agencies about Islam, ING can help to improve the accuracy of news reporting as well as offer ideas for human interest articles about the Muslim community. Recurring, one-dimensional images of Islam in the media, compounded by stereotypical characterizations of Muslims in films, has made American Muslims one of the most misunderstood and stereotyped groups. Quality, well-balanced, and in-depth coverage can have the opposite effect and help to reduce discrimination and hate crimes. 2007 FEBRUARY - Santa Cruz Public TV, Santa Cruz, CA 2006 MARCH - Interview with Radio Islam, Chicago, IL SEPTEMBER - Channel 7 Interview, San Francisco, CA 2005 MAY - Jaiza TV Cable Program, Fremont, CA APRIL - MeccaOne Radio Program, San Jose State University, San Jose, CA JULY - Press Conference, London Bombings - Arab American Television Program, San Jose, CA OCTOBER - Comcast Television Program, San Jose, CA 2004 AUGUST - Remembrance of 9/11 Attacks NOVEMBER - Idaho Public Television, Boise ID DECEMBER - Arab-American Television Program, San Jose, CA - Radio Talk Show, Clear Channel Communication, Talk 910, San Francisco, CA 2003 FEBRUARY - "Voices" Program, Community Television of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA MARCH - Press Conference: ING's Response to the War in Iraq MAY - Arab-American Television Program, San Jose, CA 2002 JANUARY - KQED Advisory Board Meetings and Retreats, San Francisco, CA MAY - Launch of the "Islam Project", KQED, San Francisco, CA AUGUST - Press Conference: Remembrance of 9/11 Attacks DECEMBER - Media Salon, KQED, San Francisco, CA 2001 JANUARY - KQED Advisory Board Meetings and Retreats, San Francisco, CA - National Media Project, Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Washington, DC FEBRUARY - Media Campaign: Eid ul-Adha SEPTEMBER - Media Campaign: Terrorist Attacks of 9/11 OCTOBER - Media Campaign: Women in Solidarity Event - 9/11 Aftermath, Public Affairs Meeting, San Jose, CA NOVEMBER - 9/11 Aftermath, Public Affairs Meeting, San Francisco, CA 2000 JANUARY - KQED Advisory Board Meetings and Retreats, San Francisco, CA - Media Campaign: Eid ul-Fitr APRIL - African Muslims in the Americas, Zaytuna Conference, Berkeley, CA AUGUST - Meeting on the Need for New Programming About Bay Area's Diversity, KQED, San Francisco, CA OCTOBER - Media Campaign: Ramadan DECEMBER - Media Campaign: Eid ul-Fitr 1999 JANUARY - KQED Advisory Board Meetings and Retreats, San Francisco, CA - Media Campaign: Eid ul-Fitr FEBRUARY - Seminar on Iran's 20th Anniversary;
