Speakers Bureau

RNA can help you find a speaker on a topic related to religion and media. We have members nationwide and some have decades of experience covering religion and media. Whether you want someone to talk about the basics of how religion is covered in the secular media, or a specific topic in the news, such as covering Islam or the recent Catholic abuse scandals, we can help.

Please contact Debra Mason, MasonDL@RNA.org.
