Blind Spot: When Journalists Don’t Get Religion December 16, 2008

Host: Hudson Institute. Underlying religious issues drive many world events but are often missing from news coverage. The authors of Blind Spot argue that, while theology need not shape journalists’ work, knowing the nuances of religion will lead to better reporting and will better serve the public. In today’s world, a broad understanding of religious beliefs can no longer remain the bailiwick of “religion” editors alone, but must inform the work of all who gather and report the news.
