520 |a Earlier research in America and elsewhere has shown considerable bias and misinformation in media coverage of so-called "new religions"; (sometimes referred to as ‘cults'). This paper reports mostly qualitative research which raises questions about the overall objectivity and neutrality of journalists covering such groups. The paper includes discussion of specific episodes of media bias concerning new and minority religions in Australia, as well as other research from that country. A situation which involved an Australian journalist facing ethics charges in relation to a story written about a number of groups referred to as ‘cults' is included, as a development with implications about how journalists treat such phenomena.
