Beyond Twitter: The Vatican’s Other Communications Revolution
David Gibson of Religion News Service examines the Vatican’s attempt to modernize its communication with the public. While the Pope recently launched a Twitter feed, Gibson believes that the process will be long and difficult, due to the ingrained culture of the Vatican. Greg Burke, a Fox News reporter hired by the Church to address its media problems, said, “Anyone with extensive dealings in the Vatican knows that things take time here. I’m learning quite a bit, but I think my superiors are as well.”
