Scientology and Tom Cruise: Media Analysis
Rather than writing a traditional research paper about a particular new religion, you are asked to write an analysis of how the news media cover(ed) a particular new religion. Here’s the catch for this first assignment: You need to write on one of the groups that is described in the “Spirit Lab” exhibit in the SDSU Library (in the first floor Donor Hall). Your paper will incorporate the theories concerning new religions—especially media coverage of new religions—that we learn about in class, as well as secondary literature you identify in your research. I have put five articles online in the “Assignments” folder, but you can use additional articles.
The paper will analyze media coverage of a specific group that has a California connection. You will describe the media coverage and present your interpretation of that coverage, in light of what scholars say about media coverage of new religions. Given the fact that you have only 4–5 pages, stay narrowly focused on the group within a specific time period.
Specific suggestions:
1. Pick one event or incident relating to a group based in California (from the Spirit Lab exhibit). Do not pick an entire group, e.g., Peoples Temple. Pick a single historical instance about which there was media coverage.
