  • Pope Leo, in his first address to the media, called on Monday for an end to a polarizing "war of words" made of partisan and ideological attacks and not give space to fanaticism and hatred. Speaking to thousands of members of the media from around the world who covered his election and the death of his predecessor, Leo also called for the release of reporters jailed for doing their jobs. He added artificial intelligence had to be used with "responsibility and discernment".

Pope Francis, in his message for the 57th World Day of Social Communications, urged media professionals to foster peace and unity rather than divisiveness, emphasizing the importance of communication in building a more fraternal world. He called for an end to the "partisan propaganda and partisan media" that fuel societal division, advocating instead for a journalism that seeks truth and promotes reconciliation. The Pope highlighted the need for communicators to be mindful of their influence and to use their platforms to bridge gaps, encouraging a culture of encounter and dialogue. He stressed that communication should be a tool for understanding and healing, not for spreading discord and misinformation.
