Owned by the Holy See, the Vatican City State in Rome, Italy, Vatican News is an online portal balancing state media and Catholic evangelism. The Dicastery for Communication, a new administrative division of the Roman Catholic Curia, integrates and oversees all Vatican media operations in the name of the Pope. Vatican News offers media educators and historians a global iteration of twenty-first century media convergence and demonstrates how Christianity intersects with journalistic practice in Holy See politics and Catholic culture.
