New Media for the New Evangelization
Why do we need New Media? What do blogs, podcasts, web sites, viral videos and other virtual expressions of faith have to add to the mission of the Church? After all, we went almost 2,000 years without access to these means of communication and the Church has done pretty well for herself, hasn’t she? There is… [Read More]
Defending New Media
Earlier this week I had the opportunity to discuss new media with a group of people, some for new media some against. Now I love a good debate, and in the early days of my reversion, I would often find myself “picking a fight” with anyone who wasn’t Catholic or “not Catholic enough” in my… [Read More]
Catholic New Media Best Practices Volume 1
Be Active in Promotions, Not Passive. It’s easy for those of us who use New Media to be detached from our followers, to just put up information about an event and expect people to come of their own volition. Truth is, social media is passive and best when given to its audience, not just available… [Read More]

The Church and New Media
With an institution as rich in tradition as the Church, tradition can sometimes be seen as “stuck in the past”. Many times, this is for good reason and, truth be told, good to not be swept up in the latest fad. In the realm of communications, however, by definition, the need to reach out and… [Read More]

Keep Austin Catholic
I remember my first impression of Austin Catholic New Media. Or rather, my first misconception. It was along the lines of, “Um, what’s the big deal?” New media was commonplace to me. Aren’t Catholics already utilizing it to fulfill JPII’s call to a New Evangelization? But, that was over four months ago. Today, I couldn’t… [Read More]

A Movement in Austin

Austin Catholic New Media
New and Social media have changed the way we communicate, consume media and news. For me, it also changed the way I learn about my faith. Five years ago when I had my reversion and came back to the faith I didn’t have a clue what it meant to be a real Catholic and I… [Read More]
