In a message for the 44th World Communications Day, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI encourages people to blog.
Here is an excerpt from the Message for the 44th World Communications Day:
The spread of multimedia communications and its rich “menu of options” might make us think it sufficient simply to be present on the Web, or to see it only as a space to be filled. Yet priests can rightly be expected to be present in the world of digital communications as faithful witnesses to the Gospel, exercising their proper role as leaders of communities which increasingly express themselves with the different “voices” provided by the digital marketplace. Priests are thus challenged to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources (images, videos, animated features, blogs, websites) which, alongside traditional means, can open up broad new vistas for dialogue, evangelization and catechesis.
As more and more people start blogging worldwide, you will need to find a way to stand out in the ever-growing crowd of online publishers.
The secret? Focused and relevant writing. You may also include informative and entertaining. 🙂
What are you waiting for? Start blogging today, or get left behind.
