News.va
News.va (The Vatican Today) is a news information portal provided by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications[1] which "aggregate[s] information from the Vatican’s various print, online, radio and television media in a one-stop shop for news about the Holy See.".[2]
The site was launched on June 27, 2011.[3] News.va launched The Pope App in January 2013.[4]
On Saturday, June 27, 2015, Pope Francis, through a motu proprio ("on his own initiative") apostolic letter, established the Secretariat for Communications in the Roman Curia, and News.va and the Pontifical Council are expected to be incorporated in it eventually.[5][6]
