Fighting Injustice With Art and FaithNäide

In Hannah More's time, the printing press was a revolutionary platform, akin to what X or Instagram is to the contemporary world. It allowed ideas to spread rapidly, engaging diverse audiences and even blurring class differences.

More and her friends seized the opportunity to reach new audiences through different platforms. This adaptability is a timeless lesson: to make a difference, we must be willing to meet people where they are, using the most effective tools of our time.

Historical Highlight:

More's willingness to adapt her writing to new formats, disrupting the literary landscape, serves as a powerful example for writers today.

She took what marketers today call a "multi-channel strategy" with her literature. Her popular Cheap Repository tracts, which sold millions of copies, allowed her to directly address a large audience of hungry readers who wanted new content day after day. Sound familiar?

This strategic use of diverse media amplified her message and impact.

Action Point:

Consider a message of hope or justice that you want to share. How can you adapt this message to reach someone in your life through their preferred communication method (social media, a personal letter, a conversation, a shared video)?
