Pope Francis called on journalists over the weekend to report precise, complete and objective information to the public, instead of one-sided viewpoints or ‘old news that has been dealt with’ and hurts society at large.
While talking to Catholic media, the pontiff said that “You shouldn’t fall into the ‘sins of communication:’ disinformation, or giving just one side, calumny that is sensationalized, or defamation, looking for things that are old news and have been dealt with and bringing them to light today.”
The Pope also went on to praise the world done by the mainstream media, and that objective journalism performs a mission that is among the most “fundamental” to democratic societies.
