Blind Spot: When Journalists Don't Get Religion, edited by Marshall, Gilbert, and Ahmanson. The problem with modern reporting is that most of today's journalists do not understand religious matters, and this is reflected in the news articles that come out daily in the press. This book discusses this situation and illustrates with a few case studies how it occurs. From attributing political motives to Muslim extremists to mischaracterizing religious leaders such as Pope John Paul II, we are shown how a secularist view misinforms both reporters and readers. This concisely written book is actually a collaboration effort of experts in the field of media and religion. In spite of its many authors, it hangs together well, with a cohesive narrative, supportive facts, and interesting case studies. This is a must read for anyone who cares about politics, religion, and the press.
