The
Pontifical Council for Social Communications has opened a Web portal to collect
and provide information on Catholic media around the globe. The portal, www.intermirifica.net, was launched in
collaboration with the Latin American Episcopal Conference and SIGNIS, the
World Catholic Association for Communication. It is currently in Spanish, English and French; Portuguese is forthcoming.The
directory has a "wiki" structure, meaning that is is designed to be
completed and updated by users. It also functions as a search engine for radio
or television stations and for production companies. According to the site, the
portal's main goal is to "facilitate communication within the Catholic
mass media world so that they can interchange common ideas and projects."
The name intermirifica refers to the only document from the Second Vatican
Council dedicated to social communications. The site explains that the portal
"hopes to become 'the yellow pages' of the Church's mass media."
I think setting up yellow pageswould be advantegous to do that...People would not be confused where to go to if they wanna find people in the vatican...
I think it would be pretty advantageous if Vatican pushes the plan of setting up a special yellow pages
- for them and for the people. You have my vote!
