RUMANIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH: THE PATRIARCHATE LAUNCHES A PRESS AGENCY PDF Print E-mail

Monday, 16 June 2008
The Rumanian Orthodox Patriarchate launches its own press agency, "Basilica". The new Patriarch Daniel has always been interested in mass media. When he was a metropolitan bishop in Iasi, he launched a newspaper and a radio that eventually covered nearly three quarters of Romania. Just after being appointed Patriarch, he created the "Basilica" media centre of the Patriarchate, which includes the newspaper "Ziarul Lumina" and the radio "Radio Trinitas" - relocated from Iasi to Bucharest -, the TV channel "Televiziunea Trinitas", which since December has been broadcasting by cable and satellite, and the press office of the Patriarchate. Now he has added the press agency "Basilica" which will electronically provide information on the institutions, activities and positions of the Rumanian Orthodox Church and other churches on different topics. The website of the agency - http://www.basilica.ro/ - will be available in Rumanian, English, French and Russian, and information will be available for free to private people or institutions, even in a professional capacity, provided the source is mentioned.
