Pope Francis says: “I often wonder: How can media be put to the service of a culture of encounter. We need information leading to compromise for the good of humanity and the planet. Join me in this prayer request. That journalists, in carrying out their work, may always be motivated by respect for truth and a strong sense of ethics.”
