KNXT TV: The Church and Social Media, Part 1

KNXT TV: The Church and Social Media, Part 1 January 31, 2013

Forum for a Better Understanding

Today, I’m happy to share the first of two television episodes recently recorded in my home Diocese of Fresno at our diocesan owned television station, KNXT. My fellow guest for this program is the always awesome Carson Weber. Carson and I met with “Forum for a Better Understanding” host Jim Grant for two episodes on the Church and Social Media.

In this first episode, we give a broad overview of some of the means of communicating online via tools like Facebook, Twitter, and blogs. You’ll also see a few snapshots from the Vatican Bloggers Meeting and get an update on the Vatican’s youtube presence and — of course — our Tweeting Pope @Pontifex!

This “Forum” program is typically a multi-faith conversation, which explains the huge Star of David behind Carson’s head. It was our goal with this and the companion program (which I’ll share tomorrow) to educate the average person in the pew about what’s happening in Catholic new media. I’m grateful to Jim Grant, to Carson, (to my hairstylist!) and to KNXT for the opportunity! Tune back in tomorrow for Part 2.
