Catholic Media Journal

The National Catholic Register’s website posted some comments by Fr. Owen Kerns, LC, Publisher of the Register, about some of the New Media work they’re doing – and mentioned some things we did in our Church & Media class last week in connection with Tim Drake’s Pope2008.com blog:

But here’s the most unusual attention [we've received about the blog]: Professor Jim Coyle at Franciscan University of Steubenville has been teaching a course on the use of new media in Catholic communications. He assigned students a paper on Pope2008.com’s blog coverage. Then he interviewed Tim, with the students present, and made the interview available as a podcast on his Catholic Media Journal website.

You can read the whole post here, or in the Register’s next issue.

It’s great exploring and experiencing New Media. We can all have a voice in the new media space – and there are many voices calling for our attention. There’s so much we can learn and share, but we have to stay alert as we seek the Truth.
