About the Media Education Society

The Media Education Society is a 501(c)(3) public charity rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, dedicated to promoting media literacy education through the lens of the common good.

You will create a range of content—including short-form posts, long-form articles, donor communications, educational materials, and more—to engage different audiences: Catholic educators, parents, young adults, pastors, and philanthropic supporters. This is a meaningful opportunity to combine your writing talents with your love for the Church and the media apostolate.

• Contribute ideas that reflect Catholic tradition while resonating with contemporary media challenges.
