UCIP - DOCUMENTS
English - Français
English
The International Catholic Union of the Press (UCIP) has been bringing out documents from time to time reflecting on events and policies worldwide. These documents have become a great source of inspiration to journalists and media professionals everywhere. They help towards reflection, analysis and achievement.
A UCIP document is also an instrument to make known the position of the worldwide Union. The general assembly held at Rome in December 2008 decided that UCIP should bring out a document on the theme "Media for Social and Economic Justice", in order to emphasise the importance and role of journalism in finding lasting solutions to problems we all face worldwide.
The theme is highly relevant and timely in these times of financial crisis and world economic turmoil. Following various debates and discussions on various drafts by members from all continents, the General Assembly 2009 adopted the document “Media for Social and Economic Justice” on 31 October 2009 and decided to publish it by Christmas 2009.
Those who prepared this document include national associations of writers and journalists in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, Middle East, the Caribbean and Oceania as well as professors and experts as well as UCIP general assembly members and specialists worldwide.

L’Union catholique internationale de la Presse (UCIP), quand cela semble nécessaire, publie des documents concernant des événements et des situations de l’actualité internationale. Ces documents deviennent une source d’inspiration pour les professionnels des médias partout dans le monde et contribuent à la réflexion, à l’analyse et à des actions. De tels documents font aussi connaître la position de l’Union.
Lors de l’assemblée générale tenue à Rome en décembre 2008, il a été décidé que l’UCIP produirait un document sur le thème « Médias pour la justice sociale et économique » afin de rappeler fortement le rôle important du journalisme dans la recherche de solutions durables aux problèmes auxquels nous faisons face partout dans le monde.
Ce thème est tout à fait opportun et actuel en ces temps de crise financière et de trouble économique mondiaux. Après des débats et des discussions, et en tenant compte de plusieurs observations venues de tous les continents, l’assemblée générale 2009 a adopté le document le 31 octobre et décidé de le rendre public pour Noël.
Parmi ceux et celles qui ont préparé ce document, il faut inclure des associations nationales d’écrivains et de journalistes en Europe, en Asie, en Amérique du Nord, en Afrique, au Moyen-Orient, dans les Caraïbes et en Océanie aussi bien que des professeurs et des experts de même que des membres de l’assemblée générale de l’UCIP et des spécialistes à travers le monde.
