Islam, Muslims and Journalism Education (IMAJE) is a project of Michigan State University’s Muslim Studies program in collaboration with the School of Journalism with the support of the African Studies Center, Asian Studies Center, and the Center for Advanced Study of International Development/Women and International Development (CASID/WID). It has been funded through a grant from the Social Science Research Council (SSRC).
The goal of the IMAJE project is to develop with and for journalism faculty a nuanced perspective on Islam, Muslims, and Muslim societies that will generate more accurate reporting. It is not intended as an exhaustive resource on Islam and Muslims. Rather, this website is an instructional resource for journalism professors and professional journalists who see materials related to Muslims in the mainstream media. In addition to providing journalism instructors with readily accessible materials, the website also seeks to encourage MSU Muslim Studies faculty to engage the media’s treatment of Islam.
