Is media coverage of Pope Francis’s words fair? In this episode we discussed the various factors that go into the ways the media handles Pope Francis’s words. We consider such factors as the ability of journalist to grab an audience’s attention, the desire of media companies to keep viewers on their websites as long as possible and the inherent limits in any secondary source. These factors are critical when evaluating the statements left by any religious figure, especially those who have great responsibilities such as Pope Francis. Join us this week as we share some thoughts about the key considerations one should bear in mind when reading secondhand reports about what Pope Francis said.
