{"product_id":"blind-spot-paul-marshall-9780195374377","title":"Blind Spot: When Journalists Don't Get Religion","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 \u003cem\u003eBlind Spot\u003c\/em\u003e argue that all too frequently journalists and commentators do not take religion seriously and therefore fail to grasp the religious context of the news. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eBlind Spot\u003c\/em\u003e's essays examine news stories reported by major media sources in which key religious dimensions were ignored, overlooked, or misrepresented.
