A media awareness movement need not be limited to media "problems" only. Indeed the appropriate use of customized media could be the action/solution to a variety of social or pastoral concerns, e.g.
- A computerized electronic bulletin board can simplify the organization of services for the disabled.
- Audio taped messages can keep the elderly in touch with their lifelong friends.
- A community radio station can provide a voice and contact point for isolated rural farm workers.
Social problems are often reduced by bringing the right information to bear at the right time. Applied creatively, today's media and technology are providing new delivery systems to connect people with the information they need to make their lives better.
