When Headlines Hurt: Do We Have a Prayer?: The Pope's Words of Hope for Journalism

By Bill Schmitt

Pope Francis has issued a message for World Communications Day 2018, "The Truth Will Set You Free," that ends with a prayer for peace and for a renewal in journalism's contributions to society. This set of reflections on his message--and primarily on his prayer--is a gentle first step toward making journalism and social communication better for the common good. The reflections are brief but compelling, practical-minded as resources but intended to be spiritually encouraging for those who embrace the Pope's evangelizing approach. The author's background in journalism and education complements his Catholic faith and makes this a unique addition to your consideration of solutions for issues of truth, trust and media's role in our increasingly polarized society.
