When Headlines Hurt: Do We Have a Prayer?

When Headlines Hurt by Bill Schmitt

From On Word Communications:

Pope Francis’ message for the 2018 World Day of Communications (May 13) — “The Truth Will Set You Free: Fake News and Journalism for Peace” — has direct relevance to the cultural issues faced in today’s marketplace of information and conversation. The Pope’s message ends with his paraphrase of the beloved Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, inspiring us to be the Lord’s “instruments” to build truthfulness and trust, community and compassion, through words guided by faith and reason. When Headlines Hurt: Do We Have a Prayer? The Pope’s Words of Hope for Journalism is a concise, practical-minded reflection on this prayer for journalism, offering first steps to address the concerns many people have about society’s trends toward toxic, polarized communication.
