The core group consists of journalists including the Deputy Editor of Herald Newspaper Wilfred Pereira, Goa and Robin De Souza, the founder member of Catholic Charismatic Renewal Television (CCRTV).
Jovito Lopez, a retired journalist and a visiting professor, guided the brainstorming session in the Pauline Books and Media Centre with an introduction on “relationships” as exhorted by Pope Francis in the World Communications Day message and “climate change” as explained in the encyclical “Laudate Si.”
D” Souza opined that “Whatever we do we should try to ensure a change of behavior.” He informed, “CCRTV already has programs on internet addiction, stop tobacco use and similar ones. We welcome more socially relevant programs.
He also said the program was an opportunity to network with other media persons with similar values.
