Utilizing the correct terminology in regards to other races and cultures is an imperative skill when working in the media industry. Using inappropriate, out-dated or incorrect language are media mishaps that can discredit a news source.
I face challenges when writing about religions that I am not familiar with, for instance the Islamic faith. The religion and culture has many words that aren't in English, nor are the words frequently used in the United States. Religion is a sensitive topic and I need to use great care to make sure that the accurate terms are used in the appropriate context, and spelled correctly.
