T
his February, we do well to observe the Catholic Press Month by acknowledging with
apprecia on and celebra ng with a real hope, the enduring value of the Catholic
Communica on media. In this age of media crisis, where truth and objec vity are rarely
at a premium, we are called to pledge our support to the Catholic media that has speaking the
truth with love as its mo o.
The Catholic Press through its newspapers, magazines, newsle ers, books and blogs of its
scribes are the most eec ve instruments of religious communica ons. This indeed is done
more eciently than any other outside the Sunday homilies and communiques of its Church
leaders. That print con nues to be viable and essen al is of immense importance because its
most avid readers turnout to becoming ac ve and leading commi ed Catholics.
In our media saturated world, whatever one may think of the quality of secular media, its media
coverage of the church is o en cri cally hos le or uneven at best, whether in newspapers, radio
or television. At a me when the church o en seeks to be engaged in the great issues of the day,
its voice barely is granted space in the mainstream media.
Stories about few charisma c leaders like Pope John Paul II, Pope Francis or Mother Teresa
may feature in the print and digital media prominently because they a racts readers, which
is a blessing. But so do scandals and abuse stories with greater frequency and malice. Stories
about where bishops stand on par cular issues, reports on events or issues from a Catholic
perspec ve or profiles of Catholics who are living lives in fidelity to the Gospel are rare to non-
existent in the secular media.
It is cri cal that Catholics not only have access to sound news coverage and commentary, but
that they hear directly from their leaders on the issues of the day and have the resources to see
their world through the eyes of faith. The Catholic media predominantly oers space to Catholic
leaders to be read, heard and seen by their people unmuted, uncensored and independent
of the preconcep ons and prejudices of too many secular media outlets.
The Catholic Communica ons media must work to fulfil its mission of informing, educa ng
and evangelising catholics by con nuing to produce print publica ons of excellence while
increasing their use of other media. The key to this is a more eec ve embrace of new media,
be er cost control and improved collabora on among the various media en es. The real
payo would be in the mul plier eect of all the media arms working together to spread
rapidly and greater outreach.
The newspaper, will focus more on the why of Catholic news, while the electronic media more
speedily deliver the who, what, when and where of tradi onal news repor ng. For Catholic
media to make a dierence, however, it needs to cul vate and highlight its own Catholic
journalists, photojournalists, editors and designers who have, or should have, the knowledge
to report accurately on local, na onal and global events and teachings of the Church relevant
to its readers.
Digital is and will be a powerful communica ons medium, but print remains the ul mate push
technology. It arrives weekly or biweekly and by doing so demands a en on. The printed
version of Catholic publica ons is s ll the most eec ve push medium that is, one that is
sent to readers on a regular basis without readers having to take the ini a ve to visit a website
or take any other posi ve ac on.
While adult faith forma on is considered of utmost importance to the mission and vision of
the Church, Catholic news media remain the primary means of this forma on. The regular
appearance of a Catholic publica on with news, analysis, columns and features in a virtual or
actual mailbox does more to help adult Catholics in their ongoing faith forma on.
