On 12 May 2025, Pope Leo XIV addressed journalists who had come from all over the world to the Vatican to hear from the new pontiff.
In his address, Pope Leo discussed the great challenges of the modern media landscape, especially the impact of artificial intelligence, highlighting the vital importance for those shaping narratives of maintaining values and ethics when covering the ever shifting and increasingly technologically driven world we live in.
He also highlighted the need to move "beyond stereotypes and clichés" when it comes to media representations of Christian life and the life of the Church itself.
