Bishops told to embrace new media for the new evangelization

ATLANTA — The new evangelization calls for using new forms of media to reach people in their everyday lives, said the chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Communications.

From electronic books to social media to traditional forms of print and broadcast, the church is rethinking how to carry its teachings and its stances on public policy issues to broader audiences, including Catholics, Bishop John C. Wester of Salt Lake City told Catholic News Service.
