Journalists concerned about the rise of racism and Islamophobia will be speaking at a public meeting in London on Monday evening.
Among the speakers will be The Times's reporter Steve Bird, who this week revealed the criminal convictions of the man who heads the English Defence League.
He will be joined by Guardian diarist Hugh Muir, who also writes the paper's Hideously Diverse Britain column; The Independent columnist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown; and Weyman Bennett, joint secretary of Unite Against Fascism.
In Denial? Racism, Islam and the Media will be chaired by David Crouch, the National Union of Journalists' FoC at the Financial Times.
It starts at 7pm at the Bloomsbury Central Baptist Church
in Shaftesbury Avenue (map here).
