Media outlets offer opportunities to make the message of Jesus relevant to people today, according to a Sister of Mercy who teaches media courses at Webster University.
Sister Jan Hayes is an adjunct professor who teaches courses on ethics in the media, cultural diversity in the media and mass communications theory.
“We have to be aware of what adults and young people are listening to and viewing so we can take those opportunities ... where people are living today,” Sister Jan said.
