Columbia Reporter: Seeking Baha’i in NYC?

Baha'i Perspectives February 17th, 2010

Just received in the Baha’i Perspectives mailbox… if anyone can help, please write to us via our contact form (leaving your e-mail address) and we’ll put you in contact with Liang. Thank you!

“Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m Liang, a reporter from Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York City.

I’m writing stories about the Bahai faith for an elective called Covering Religion. I’m interested in the connection between Bahai’s in New York City and Israel.

I would like to do a story about a Bahai in New York who is heading to Israel for a pilgrimage. Would you know of anyone whom I can speak to?

I’m heading to Israel in March so I’m also thinking of doing a follow-up story there.

Also, would there be any angles you think I can cover regarding the connection between NYC Bahai’s and Israel?…

Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon!”
