Vatican City, Dec 13, 2018 / 09:55 am
Pope Francis told a Catholic media group Thursday to be avenues of God's peace, sharing the stories of the poor, the least, and the voiceless.
"In your profession you can be 'living channels' of spirituality before God and before all your listeners and viewers," the pope told collaborators of the Italy-based Catholic broadcasting network Telepace.
"I renew, then, the invitation to 'promote a journalism of peace,"" he said, quoting his 2018 message for World Communications Day. "A journalism created by people for people, one that is at the service of all, especially those – and they the majority in our world – who have no voice."
Francis addressed the group Dec. 13, for their 40th anniversary, in the Vatican's Clementine Hall. Since 1990, at the request of St. John Paul II, the network has broadcast Vatican events such as the general audience, the Angelus, and papal Masses.
