Vatican Media is the official media arm of the Vatican City State, responsible for disseminating news, programs, and services related to the Catholic Church and the Holy See.

Established in 1929, Vatican Media has evolved from a single radio station, known as Vatican Radio, to a multi-platform media organization encompassing various channels and services.

Vatican Media's mission is to provide accurate and informative content on the activities, teachings, and events of the Catholic Church, reaching a global audience.

Its key services include:

  • News reporting: Offering comprehensive coverage of papal events, liturgical celebrations, and other significant news related to the Catholic Church, including pronouncements and encyclicals from the Pope.
  • Television broadcasting: Providing live coverage of papal masses and other major events, as well as documentaries, interviews, and special programs exploring various aspects of Catholic faith and life.
  • Radio broadcasting: Continuing the legacy of Vatican Radio, offering a diverse range of programming, including news bulletins, devotional programs, religious music, and discussions on theological and spiritual topics.
  • Online platforms: Maintaining a website and social media presence, sharing news, photos, videos, and other content in multiple languages.

Vatican Media serves as a vital communication channel between the Holy See and the global Catholic community, facilitating dialogue and fostering understanding of the Church's teachings and mission.
