Accuracy in Media

Alfie Evans, a British toddler who suffers from a severe neurological disorder, has been off life support since Monday. Alfie’s parents are seeking additional treatment and care in Italy, where Pope Francis and the Vatican had offered refuge from the British National Health Service (NHS). The NHS and Alder Hey’s hospital medical staff said that […]

Ahead of his annual communications message, which he is expected to dedicate to the topic of “fake news,” Pope Francis warned Catholic media Saturday that journalists who promote inaccurate news are committing a “grave sin,” according to The Guardian. “You shouldn’t fall into the ‘sins of communication:’ disinformation, or giving just one side, calumny that […]
