The Challenges of Interactive Media to Catholic Communications.
An international Catholic press Congress sponsored by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications has concluded in Rome.
Jesús Colina, the president of H2Onews and director of Zenit, gave a presentation in which he gave his assessment of social networks, their risks and their benefits for Catholics today.
Colina says that the Web 2.0 model has a margin of risk as it is "relativistic". He therefore wondered should Catholic communicators should adopt this model of communication.
Jesús Colina, President of H2O News and Director of Zenit Catholic News Agency:
"The production of content, made directly by users, has seen the most success in recent years: Wikipedia, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter. Flicker, Google News ... Even Open Source is a form of interactivity and communitarian production ".
"The goal of any Web 2.0 initiative is to create community."
"Communication on the Internet should follow the model of Church, that is Church- communion, the model to which Benedict XVI is dedicating his pontificate."
"When a Church communicates on the Internet in communion, for example in an interactive manner, it becomes a community, it is a virtual meeting but one that can be converted into an opportunity for encounter."
