World Communications Day Established by Pope Paul VI in 1967
Among the wonderful technological discoveries which men of talent, especially
in the present era, have made with God's help, the Church welcomes and
promotes with special interest those which have a most direct relation to men's
minds and which have uncovered new avenues of communicating most readily
news, views and teachings of every sort. The most important of these
inventions are those media which, such as the press, movies, radio, television
and the like, can, of their very nature, reach and influence, not only individuals,
but the very masses and the whole of human society, and thus can rightly be
called the media of social communication. (Introduction #1)

Inter Mirifica (1963) Decree on the Media of Social Communications
It is an ever more commonly held opinion that, just as the Industrial
Revolution in its day brought about a profound transformation in society
by the modifications it introduced into the cycles of production and the
lives of workers, so today the radical changes taking place in
communications are guiding significant cultural and social
developments. The new technologies are not only changing the way we
communicate, but communication itself, so much so that it could be
said that we are living through a period of vast cultural transformation.
This means of spreading information and knowledge is giving birth to a
new way of learning and thinking, with unprecedented opportunities for
establishing relationships and building fellowship. (Paragraph #1)

What can you learn as you compare the business example with

Scenario 1:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Brigid-
Youth-Ministry/246609370781
St. Brigid’s Youth Ministry, based in San
Antonio, Texas goals are:
-To empower young people to live as
disciples of Jesus Christ.
-To draw young people to be responsible
participation in the life, mission, and work
of the Catholic Faith community.
-To foster the total personal and spiritual
growth of each youth
Many of the “wall” entries highlight photo’s
from YM events. On occasion, the YM
asks questions or announces events.
Is this a “participatory” model? How could
interaction be improved?

Mabel Label's, based in Hamilton, Ontario,
makes sticky labels customized with a
child’s name, color, and choice of icon.
Tricia Mumby, one of the company’s co-
founders, says that Facebook has been a
terrific way to develop new ideas by
tapping user suggestions. Mabel’s Labels,
which has nearly 20,000 Facebook fans,
also announces any specials or new
products through the company’s
Facebook page. According to Mumby,
Facebook is the third largest referring
website, just below direct visits and
Google, and 11 percent of the site’s total
traffic comes from Facebook, while two
percent of sales comes from the Facebook
Fan page.
