Vatican City, which has had a multi-lingual web presence for some years now, launched a new chapter in its history today. Jumping on the YouTube bandwagon, it is now possible for the world to view videos of some of the major activities the Vatican publicises on the world stage.
The Vatican YouTube channel offers news coverage of the main activities of the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI and of relevant Vatican events.It is updated daily.Video images are produced by Centro Televisio Vaticano (CTV), texts by Vatican Radio (RV) and CTV.This video-news presents the Catholic Churchs position regarding the principal issues of the world today.Links give access to the full and official texts of cited documents.
This new innovation coincides with the publication of the Holy Father's Message for the 43rd World Day of Social Communications, which took place today. Fittingly, the theme for this year's message is New Technologies, New Relationships: Promoting a culture of Respect, Dialogue and Friendship. The World Day of Social Communicatons will be observed on May 24, 2009.
