The following reflections of St. John Paul II indicate the crucial need for media education today:

Media offer unlimited opportunities for information, education, cultural expansion, spiritual growth which we never had before. Media have an enormous positive potential for promoting sound human and family values.
May families find in the media a source of support, encouragement and inspiration as they strive to live a community of life and love, to train young in moral values and culture of solidarity, freedom and peace.

Yet, media have capacity to do grave harm to families by presenting inadequate or even deformed outlook on life, family, religion and on morality. Communication must have ethical criterion of respect for the truth and for the dignity of the human person.

Traditional Family values, secularism need to be protected.
Parents should teach media to children to be Moderate, critical, watchful and prudent use of the media in the home.
They should discuss media problems. They also should express their opinions to producers, Advertisers, public authorities what they like and dislike.

– Pope John Paul II (38th WCD – Media and Family) A Risk and a Richness
