Renewing the Vatican Radio Web Site - Daughters of St. Paul

Vatican Radio’s portal, www.radiovaticana.va, is in the process of being renewed. In publicizing this information, the Radio’s General Director, Fr. Federico Lombardi, underscored that the station, which airs programs in 37 languages, is becoming a multimedia publisher to an ever-increasing degree: always more dynamic, always more social so as to bring the Word of God and the words of the Pope to everyone, including those who spend a significant amount of time in the digital world.

Vatican Radio might change the instruments it uses, Fr. Lombardi said, but its mission remains the same. Today it is present on Facebook with 17 profiles in various languages. It also has 6 Twitter accounts, available in 6 languages, and 9 YouTube channels. In addition, it is present on the Weibo and QQ social networks for Chinese users.
All Vatican Radio programs can be accessed by smartphones and tablets. Its effort to reach above all digital natives has resulted in the creation of apps that can be downloaded free of charge and watched on iOs, Android and Windows Mobile. One of the main innovations developed by Radio Vatican is the Vatican Player–an instrument that offers live multimedia content on demand, in particular the Pope’s agenda and videos of various celebrations in collaboration with the Vatican Television Center.
