Church communication is considered as the proclamation of Christ. Since the media of social communication are for mankind. Communicators should be consumed by the desire to serve the people. Mass media at times exaggerate individual and social problems that stand in the way of human solidarity and the integral development of the human person. These obstacles include secularism, consumerism, materialism, dehumanization, and the lack of concern for the plight of the poor and neglected. It is against this background that the church wants media of social communications as the privileged way today for the creation and transmission of culture, a work of defense of liberty, respect for the dignity of individuals, and the elevation of the authentic culture of people which occurs through a firm and courageous rejection of every form of monopoly and manipulation) (AetatisNovaeNo.13).
