Summary/Abstract: Pope Francis, in his first encyclical Lumen fidei pays attention to one of the most important values in human life which is truth. A human being develops fully thanks to this value that affects all aspects of human life. Hence, Pope’s words in the encyclical were used to relate to mass media. The truth about man and the world that surrounds him should underpin the world of media, especially these days. As a result, people would be able to develop their potential fully and pursue the objective of their lives. In order to make the road complete faith and love should coexist, because these values complement each other.
