Managing The Assets of The Church: Catholic Media As An Asset
As we continue our series on managing the assets of the Church, we turn to a unique and perhaps underappreciated asset – Catholic media.
We have all seen the pitfalls of communication and the damage it has caused to the Church and the faithful but its ability to evangelize and create communities is an asset that should not be overlooked as a means of bringing the Church’s salvific message to many.
In this digital age, Catholic media remains a dynamic, high-potential tool for promoting, growing and expanding the Church.
Join us as we explore the role of Catholic media within the Church and in the global context as our experts in the field share their experiences and knowledge.
