Religio Journalistici

"Religio Journalistici" by Christopher Morley is an essay that compares journalism to religion. It investigates the deeper meanings behind news reporting and how journalism shapes public perception, similar to how religious teachings influence believers. Morley thinks about how journalists, like religious leaders, communicate information and create stories that affect their audience. He points out the differences between the lively, sometimes messy world of journalism and the more serious nature of religious conversations but suggest both try to make sense of a complicated world. The essay considers how news is made and how it affects what society expects and believes, suggesting that both news and religion satisfy a human need to connect with something bigger than themselves.
