Summary "Religio Journalistici" by Christopher Morley is a reflective essay written in the early 20th century. This book delves into the intertwined worlds of journalism and religion, exploring the philosophical implications of both practices. Morley presents a nuanced examination of how newspapers convey not just facts but also the spirit of societal engagement and the inherent values reflected through their journalism. In "Religio Journalistici," Morley articulates his thoughts on the nature of journalism as a profession that often operates in a realm removed from deeper philosophical contemplation. Drawing parallels between the roles of journalists and clergy, he offers insights into how each profession conveys truths and constructs narratives for their audiences. Morley contrasts the playful, chaotic nature of newspaper journalism with the solemnity of religious discourse, suggesting a shared human instinct for meaning-making amidst a world of complexities and uncertainties. He examines the machinery of news production and the ways it shapes societal norms and expectations, ultimately reflecting on the human desire to connect with something greater than oneself through both media and spirituality.
