The Deputy Director of the Holy See Press Office, Sr. Nina Krapić, has urged Catholic communicators to place human dignity, truth and authentic storytelling at the heart of digital communication.
Speaking during a plenary session at the SIGNIS World Congress in Kigali, Rwanda, Sr. Krapić observed that the current media environment is increasingly saturated with AI-generated content, reducing the space for human-centred stories that communicate dignity and hope.
Her presentation highlighted the need to give religious sisters and marginalised communities greater visibility in the media. According to her, the extensive work of Catholic sisters in hospitals, schools, refugee communities, poor neighbourhoods and other places where they serve vulnerable people is often overlooked.
She stressed that the experiences of religious sisters can provide authentic stories capable of challenging stereotypes and presenting realities that are frequently ignored by mainstream media.
Sr. Krapić also presented the “Pentecost Project,” a Vatican initiative that equips religious sisters with skills in journalism, social media, institutional communication and participatory journalism.
The project encourages sisters not only to tell stories about marginalised communities but also to empower people to tell their own stories and have a role in shaping how they are represented.
She called on Catholic communicators
to use technology wisely while ensuring that communication remains firmly
rooted in truth, human dignity and authentic human encounter.
