A bridge between the media
and the Christian community
Churches' Media Council
The Churches' Media Council exists to build bridges between the Christian community and the media. It does this by:
- encouraging and resourcing media bodies and producers, especially as they deal with issues of faith and values.
- helping churches and Christian organisations to engage constructively with the media, and keeping them informed about key developments.
- supporting Christians working in the production community, through theMediaNet (formerly the Association of Christians in Media).
- contributing to the development of broadcasting policy.
The Churches' Media Council is made up of senior representatives of the major Christian denominations, with observers from OFCOM, the BBC and other key church and media organisations. It is an agency of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland.
