Mainstream media channels do not cover news about Islam or Muslims in an adequate manner. Often opinion is passed off as news or major important events are not reported in a timely manner, do not get the coverage they deserve, is biased at best and sometimes just plain Islamophobic. Join in the conversation to make a change.
The internet and social media provides democratisation of news distribution. News can come from anywhere at any time from many sources including an individual armed with a smart phone.
Traditional media has lost the trusted space it occupied. The individual or the small niche blogger who is honest, accurate and can provide a factual tweet, report or article can win the trust of the people who follow them.
Combining efforts of many individuals into one source will give greater exposure to your tweet/news. ShariaWire is supported by ShariaTimes blog giving greater leverage to the group. Post your news, tweet, photo or video with #ShariaWire. Or you can message ShariaWire and all suitable submissions will be published.
Anyone who is reasonably literate and capable of providing accurate and timely news and information can join ShariaWire and assist developing it as a reliable source of news and information about Islam and Muslims and the world they live in.
Make a change, pick up your smart phone or IPad. InshaAllah we can together make a positive change to the global village. Peace and prosperity for mankind.
