wfn.org | Janaan Hashim to lead workshop on Broadcast Radio

["RCCongress 2010 Webmaster" <webmaster@rccongress2010.org>]

How to get started and offer quality radio programs will be the focus
of the workshop to be led by Janaan Hashim, attorney and radio host,
at the Religion Communication Congress in Chicago, April 7-10, 2010.

Radio is an often underutilized tool in the broadcasting toolbox, yet
can be an affordable and efficient tool in reaching a mass market.
This workshop will go through the basic steps of starting a community
radio program in the nation's third largest radio market and how to
set high programming goals and meet them. The workshop will address
challenges faced by producers in pulling together creative shows and
proven techniques for meeting those challenges.

Janaan Hashim has been at the helm of WCEV's Radio Islam program as a
producer, host, and chair of its advisory board committee. As a host,
she has interviewed a wide variety of guests including ambassadors,
Nobel Peace laureates, a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, former CIA
analysts and vocal critics of Islam. The two-way conversation created
on Radio Islam between guests and call-ins drives Janaan each week to
continue her volunteer effort to educate Americans about the often
misunderstood faith of Islam.

The Religion Communication Congress (RCCongress 2010) is an
international, interfaith gathering of religion communicators held
every ten years offering cutting edge skills-building workshops,
challenging plenary speakers, and networking opportunities with
communications professionals. Registration for the April 7-10, 2010 in
Chicago is open to any religion communicator who seeks to be more
effective in telling the stories of his or her faith group and to
share faith expressions with one another. For more information, visit
