This lack of coverage on faith-related topics can lead to a significant gap in understanding and representation in the media landscape. As faith plays a crucial role in many individuals' lives and societal dynamics, the absence of nuanced reporting can contribute to misunderstandings and stereotypes. Moreover, it may prevent important discussions and insights from reaching broader audiences, limiting the richness and diversity of perspectives available in public discourse.

Our Faith and Media Global Index study serves as a comprehensive assessment of how religion is depicted in media outlets worldwide. This study not only scrutinizes the portrayal of faith but also delves into public perception, shedding light on how various communities interpret and respond to religious content in the media. By identifying coverage gaps and discrepancies, the study aims to provide valuable insights that can inform more balanced and nuanced reporting on matters of faith.

As part of our initiative, we are committed to supporting Deseret through a multi-channel release of our findings. This collaboration involves disseminating the study results through various media platforms, ensuring broad accessibility and visibility. Additionally, strategic partnerships will be forged to amplify the impact of our research, fostering dialogue and engagement among media professionals, religious leaders, and the general public. Through these concerted efforts, we aim to foster a more informed and inclusive discourse surrounding religion in the media landscape.

Ultimately, our goal is to contribute to a more robust understanding of faith's role in society and its portrayal in the media. By addressing coverage gaps and fostering collaboration between media outlets and religious organizations, we aspire to promote greater accuracy, sensitivity, and depth in media representations of faith, thereby enriching public discourse and promoting mutual understanding across diverse communities.
