The document discusses the relationship between journalism and the church. It argues that journalists, like missionaries, can spread truth and influence society in a positive way. Journalism seeks to inform the public about current events and uncover truth, just as the church spreads the gospel. As society faces challenges to ethics, the media can help the church by transmitting values and entertaining or informing audiences in a way that promotes communal values and Christian principles. The evolution of print media in Nigeria cannot be told without acknowledging the pioneering efforts of Reverend Henry Townsend, a missionary who established the first Nigerian newspaper in 1859 to propagate Christianity and promote literacy.
