Reality November 2016:
The first part is the November edition of Reality which is devoted to how we can proclaim the good news of the Gospel with the help of modern media. Dr John Horgan, later Labour TD, member of the European Parliament and first Press Ombudsman, was a young journalist in the Irish Times when he was asked to cover the final session of the Second Vatican Council. That was the first time the Church brought the media to observe and report on its workings and the result was revolutionary. Dr Hogan remembers many of the stirring things that happened at the Council more than fifty years ago with respect and humour. Fr Tom Rosica, a Canadian priest worked for the Vatican Press Office and is head of Salt and Light Communications that uses radio and television as well as the print media. Other articles describe the challenges and opportunities of Irish local radio and modern social media.
The second part of our birthday card is an edited edition of the first number of the Redemptorist Record which eventually became Reality. It is a bit of our history but you may find it retains a certain freshness and interest. Happy reading!
