Veteran journalist Edward A. Walsh told Sacred Heart University students that Catholic liberal arts colleges fail to meet demand for communications programs as a vital part of the curriculum. He argued properly taught, communications courses unite liberal arts subjects and shape intelligent receivers and communicators beyond vocational training. He warned the era of mass media challenges individual skills and urged Catholic educators to mold global understanding through broad studies in arts, media, and culture.

Catholic press role shrinking in mass communications
Mr Walsh says the Catholic press now supplements secular reporting in religion. He cites sensational Catholic papers and ecumenism as factors lowering prestige and notes the lack of Catholic social scientists and theologians contributing commentary. Without filling the moral and intellectual gap, Catholic influence in communications will keep diminishing.
