Pope Leo XIV called for a kinder, gentler mass media, one that speaks up for those with no voice and in defense of free speech, and urged regimes around the world that jail journalists to set them free.

In his first audience with the press, the pontiff renewed his support for a more peaceful world and quoted his predecessor, Pope Francis, who had called for communication that is free from aggression.

Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost, who will take the name Pope Leo XIV, was elected as the new leader of the Catholic Church. Leo, 69, was chosen on Day 2 of the papal conclave and is the first pontiff ever from the United States. Norah O'Donnell and Maurice DuBois anchored a CBS News special report.
