Pope Leo XIV to present theme for World Communications Day 2027

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV has announced the theme for the 2027 World Communications Day: "A new look: paying attention in the era of clickbait." The Dicastery for Communication presented the theme on Tuesday, proposing a shift toward communication based on encounter and genuine attention to others.

The Pope stated that communicating should not mean capturing attention through sensationalist headlines or clickbait. Instead, he emphasized looking toward others and the truth without superficiality or prejudice.

The Dicastery for Communication warned that the current attention economy, driven by a constant flow of content, changes cognitive abilities and the depth of interpersonal communication. The Dicastery noted that digital culture often encourages immediate reactions, superficial relationships, and the tendency to label or reject others. To address this, the Dicastery suggested a conversion of how people look at the world, others, and themselves to see them as Christ sees them.
