Pope: Media sins by dredging up, sensationalizing old news
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis is criticizing journalists who dredge up old scandals and sensationalize the news, saying it's a "very serious sin" that hurts all involved.
Francis, who plans to dedicate his upcoming annual communications message to "fake news," told Catholic media on Saturday that journalists perform a mission that is among the most "fundamental" to democratic societies.
But he reminded them to provide precise, complete and correct information and not to provide one-sided reports.
