On Thursday, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' communications office released a statement detailing changes that the department will soon undergo. The reorganization efforts include two new offices, additional staff to oversee Spanish language translations and the use of Web 2.0.
“These changes will allow us to tap the benefits of the rapidly changing media environment around us,” said Helen Osman, secretary of the Communications Department, who announced the new plan on March 16.
The reorganization effort will be effective May 1 and will first create two new offices: the Office of Creative Services and the Office of Customer and Client Relations. A unit for project management in the Office of the Secretary for Communications will also be added.
“The new creative services office,” said Osman, “will produce material to be available in print and digital forms – video, audio, text, Web, mobile devices and other emerging technology.”
