Most of us use social media as part of our professional and personal lives. But even though people use Facebook, etc., not everyone understands their potential for reaching the community. If you need to encourage an organization to use social media as part of their communication process, you might consider using this or other videos from CommonCraft to explain new media.



I’m posting this and a few other videos not as promotion for specific services but to share some of the resources we might use to enhance Church communications. Jim Coyle

Brandon and the contributors to the book have captured our unique moment in the history of Communications in the Catholic Church and offer not only methods we can use – but even more importantly, inspiration and motivation for us to reach out to all the world and bring God’s message to people in dynamic, personal ways by using the new media tools God has given us. From worldwide evangelization to sharing God’s life and love in the local parish, we have new opportunities and resources at our disposal – and a call to use them.

In this edition of the Catholic Media Journal Podcast, George Leite, an active Catholic podcaster from Massachusetts, shares how his growth as a Catholic and love of ministry through music led him to podcasting. George’s main podcast, Catholic Rockers, won the 2007 international award as Best PodSafe Music Podcast - an award which included music podcasts of all genres, not just religious music.

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.

We were on a Spring Break “Media Mission” to the areas hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Although a year and a half had gone by and much recovery and rebuilding work had been done along the Mississippi Gulf Coast and New Orleans by individuals and organizations, the impact on the people and the area were still so evident.

I wanted the students to observe, experience – and share their experiences through written, oral and visual stories. And I was looking forward to again seeing some of the people I’d met in October, 2005, when I first visited these areas 2 months after Katrina had hit. How were they doing? How were their friends and families? How was the recovery going?

We found just about everything – joy and sadness, hope and hopelessness, hearts of gold and hearts crying out to God. Unfortunately, our Media Mission wasn’t part of a class, and when we got back to Steubenville after Spring Break, we were caught up in our classes and projects – and didn’t get all of our stories out. There were several exceptions, including an excellent video documentary produced by Kristen Rainey as her Senior Thesis project, and stories in the University’s Franciscan Way magazine and the student newspaper, The Troubadour. We’ve been able to share our personal stories with our friends and families. And as a demonstration in one of my classes, I produced a short podcast (12-1/2 minutes long) about part of the trip. Here it is:

By the way, The Endless Road Podcast is a very-occasional podcast I produce, often to test new equipment and audio programs. And listening to this 2007 podcast, I’m glad we’re using better equipment now. If you’ve checked the About page of this site or our earliest posts, you know that Catholic Media Journal began as an online diary of a 2005 Catholic Media Tour to Mississippi and Louisiana two months after Hurrican Katrina. It’s good to remember, to pray, and to support the people and the Church, however we’re called.Finally, if you’d like to be an early subscriber to our podcasts, follow this link.

Tim talked with us about Catholic journalism, New Media, his experience blogging from 2005 World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany, and his new blog, Pope2008.com – one of the RSS feeds featured on the right side of our website.

They broke from their regular format for an episode last October in which the hosts were interviewed online by Caroline Schermerhorn of Envoy magazine. This episode lets us get to know more about the podcast, the people and purpose behind it – Cool stuff.
