Mangalore: Legislator J R Lobo said present day media have their own defects though they are too fast and reach all places too quickly.  Addressing  the gathering soon after the inauguration of SIGNIS India National Assembly 2016 at Shanthi Kiran at Bajjodi near here on Tuesday, Feb 23, 2016, he said a few media distort facts to gain popularity.

Lobo regretted that the “punishment” those media give is more than “a death penalty”. He said modern gadgets affect families and it results in erosion of values.

In the inaugural address, Mangalore Diocesan Bishop Rev. Dr Aloysius Paul D’Souza said values begin in the family. Terming Mangaluru as the “Rome of the East,” the Bishop said that though the popular adage says “End does not justify the means”.

In his keynote address, Catholic Bishops Conference of India Chairperson for Social Communication Bishop Most Rev Dr Salvadore Lobo called upon the gathering to counter digital media through personal encounters. Mayor Jacintha Vijay Alfred and Signis India President Sunil Lucas among others were present.

About 100 delegates from all over India took part in the three day deliberations.

Every year Signis India organises its National assembly in different parts.
