"Almost nothing gets out there that's not controversial when it comes to the media covering the Catholic faith. You know, I remember one author saying that hatred and bias towards Catholicism was the only legitimate one that was still around. And I tend to agree - anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable form of bigotry."
Today we're joined by Mario Toneguzzi, a veteran journalist with over 40 years of experience in newspapers, to explore the complex relationship between media and Christianity. Drawing from his unique perspective as both a lifelong Catholic and media insider, Mario shares fascinating insights including:
- Why the media seems particularly hostile to Christianity and Catholicism
- How media coverage of religion has dramatically changed over his 40-year career
- The disappearance of balanced religious reporting from mainstream outlets
- His experience navigating faith in an increasingly secular newsroom
- The opportunities and challenges social media presents for sharing faith
- Practical wisdom for Christians engaging with hostile media
- This is an eye-opening conversation about defending faith in an industry that often seems set against it.
