Blind Spot?

Here's an interesting article on how frequently members of my former profession do a lousy job of covering matters related to members of my current profession. And they're both protected by the same amendment, too -- you'd figure that should count for something.

Anyway, the article's hook is a book called Blind Spot, which examines some major news stories that included a religious dimension, in which the coverage was poor, inaccurate, misleading or a combo of all of the above, because the reporters and writers involved ignored or were ignorant of the faith matters central to what they were covering.

For a website that offers some ongoing observations on this issue, check out Get Religion, or the blog by Terry Mattingly. Both are in the links section.
