note = {Introduction: The Cockle and The WheatIt is beyond the power of
parents or of pastors today to monitor the tide of the mass media in
Britain as it passes over those they might protect. Exposure to all
sorts of ideas and images is now an inescapable part of the general
risk of life; and the carefulness of Christians in what they
contribute to or select from the output of the media can counteract
but cannot significantly dilute the contrary messages.It is a fallacy
that any one medium is or ever will be the best or most important in
any absolute sense. The media merge; and competence in their
employment requires a knowledge of the character and reach of each
type so that messages may be conveyed to chosen groups. Christian
practitioners in the media need to master this orchestration. It may
be regretted in this connection that we have in this country no single
professional guild of Catholic or Christian media workers. (...) },
