The Nashville Chapter of
the Religion Communicators Council (RCC) meets monthly to talk about topics of
interest and hear from professionals in religious communications.
The
world of news is ever-changing.
And
with change, comes new surroundings: the Tennessean newspaper has packed up
from their mammoth building to move to the upper floors of a high-rise on West
End Avenue. On a sunny morning in mid-July, the Religion Reporter, Holly Meyer,
hosted the Religion Communicators Council for a tour of the new space and
answered questions.
The Religion Communicators
Council (RCC) is an interfaith association of religion communicators at work in
print and electronic communication, marketing and public relations.
Duane Gang, Metro News Editor, along with Meyer,
spoke to the RCC about the work they do, how they manage and plan stories, and
fielded questions. “Religion communicators need to be in touch with the big
names in reporting, and for Nashville, the Tennessean is it,” says Julie
Brinker, Communications Coordinator for the Nashville RCC and Director of
Community Affairs for the Church of Scientology Nashville, “We’re so happy they
opened their doors to RCC so we can see what happens right in one of the
hottest news rooms in the city.”
The RCC has members from every faith group
and walk of life including Baha’is, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Scientologists,
Sikhs, Hindus and more. The RCC, founded in 1929, is an association of
communications professionals who work for and with a diverse group of
faith-based organizations in the areas of communications, public relations,
advertising and development.
The RCC provides opportunities for
communicators to learn from each other. Together, RCC members promote
excellence in the communication of faith and values in the public arena. For more information about the Religion Communicators
