VATICAN CITY
Vatican Radio
The Director General of Vatican Radio, Fr. Federico Lombardi, SJ, has published an Italian-language Note concerning the responsibilities of journalists working in various media, including print, television and radio, as well as the new media. Fr. Lombardi cites a recent series of real or presumed document leaks from the Vatican, which have stirred interest in the Italian press and garnered a degree of international media attention.
Fr. Lombardi encourages all those who cover the Vatican and the Church to exercise prudent discernment both in the choice of sources and in the use and diffusion of information, recalling the need to practice journalism out of a sense of love for and duty toward the truth.
