Pope Francis says using fake news to influence public opinion is a misdeed.
Pope Francis is himself widely considered as a savvy communicator, appearing at ease in interviews.
“Disinformation is the first of the sins, the mistakes — let’s say — of journalism,” Francis told Italian journalists at a Vatican gathering to bestow a journalism prize. “Disinformation, when journalism does not inform or informs badly; slander ; defamation, which is different from slander but destroys; and the fourth is… the love of scandal.”
“My hope is that space will be given to the voices of peace, to those who are committed to putting an end to this as to so many other conflicts,” he said.
