Pope Leo XIV announced the theme for the 2027 World Communications Day, which is A New Gaze: Paying Attention in the Era of Clickbait. The Dicastery for Communication released the theme for the 61st edition of the event on Tuesday.

The theme addresses the digital culture of rapid information and the risks of content created solely to attract clicks. According to Vatican News, the message invites people to rediscover the value of deep communication and attention. The Pope suggests that Christian communication should move away from simply capturing or selling attention, instead focusing on listening and meeting others with the gaze of Christ.
