Abstract

Due to the progression of the world as a simulacrum, as a copy for which there is no original, an idea for a new media product was born in France. It’s about the former Libération journalists who wanted to establish a new type of journalism and called it slow journalism. It goes “to war” against “news without memory”, news that we consume, but we do not think about it, we do not deepen it, we do not analyse it, and, in the ultimate sense, we do not even understand it, no matter how clear and precise it seems to be. Following this line, in this paper we analyse the media statements and gestures of Pope Francis in the context of “news without memory”, trying to see if, what Pope Francis says or does, from the issue of homosexuals, care for the poor, pastoral care of the divorced and remarried, relations with the media and other topics, is something “revolutionary” and “new”, which his predecessors did not do and say in their own way.
