'Come and see': theme of papal message for World Communications Day (Vatican Press Office)

In a message issued on the vigil of the memorial of St. Francis de Sales (patron saint of journalists), Pope Francis expressed concern that “original investigative reporting in newspapers and television, radio and web newscasts is being replaced by a reportage that adheres to a standard, often tendentious narrative . . . ‘Come and see’ is the simplest method to get to know a situation.”
