Description

Why do the media so often miss or misunderstand major news stories? One reason is that, in today’s complex and pervasively religious world, understanding religion is vital in accurately reporting and interpreting current events. The authors of Blind Spot argue that all too frequently journalists and commentators do not take religion seriously and therefore fail to grasp the religious context of the news. Blind Spot‘s essays examine news stories reported by major media sources in which key religious dimensions were ignored, overlooked, or misrepresented. These stories range from the 2004 U.S. presidential elections, to Iran, Iraq, and the papal succession. Blind Spot offers all readers — whether people of faith or not — an interesting and balanced analysis of the news media’s uneasy relationship with religion and religious issues.
