For the first time in 2020, the CONTENT film festival branched out to cover News and Journalism as one of its categories. The Christian film festival and media conference included 50 speakers and panelists, held in Dallas from Feb. 1 to Feb. 4.
“Everybody raved about the News and Journalism,” said John Diamond, coordinator for the News and Journalism department of the conference. He added the category is now here to stay. The decision to add the category was made a year and a half ago, and Diamond said people are increasingly looking to sources other than mainstream media in order to find the truth. “We were looking to the best of the alternative truth-telling media to invite to this conference.”
