Episode 46: The Peoples Temple: The Story of Jonestown
Authors: Samya and Mia
Description:
On November 18, 1978, a mass suicide at Jonestown changed nearly one thousand lives. Peoples Temple leader Jim Jones led over 900 members in a mass suicide through the consumption of cyanide-laced punch. We take a deep dive into the Peoples Temple timeline, and the years leading up to the mass suicide. Through the exploration of Jim Jones’ leadership and members' experiences we discover the true conditions of the Peoples Temple. Additionally, we dissect the media’s approach to the coverage of Jonestown from an ethical standpoint.
