The News Watch Diversity Style Guide was compiled with the help of the Asian American Journalists Association, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, National Association of Black Journalists, National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, the Native American Journalists Association, the National Center on Disability and Journalism, the South Asian Journalists Association, and "100 Questions and Answers About Arabs: A Journalist's Guide" by the Detroit Free Press.

News Watch also extends a special thank you to others who helped revise this guide: Phil Avila, copy editor at the Wall Street Journal; Vada Crosby, page designer/copy editor at The Hartford Courant; Hank Glamann, assistant managing editor at The Plain Dealer in Cleveland; and Carol Reynolds-Srot, senior copy editor/travel at The Miami Herald.

The Media Guide to Islam is intended for journalists looking for a primer on Islam and Muslims living in the U.S.
