Media

HAF understands the importance of working with the media to ensure fair, accurate and balanced coverage of Hinduism. As the Foundation has attended various media workshops over the years, it has developed relationships with journalists and reporters to provide them with a professional Hindu body to use as a resource. Furthermore, HAF closely monitors media coverage of Hindus and Hinduism, and consistently responds to inaccurate and biased coverage.
