Vatican City, Jan 11, 2017 / 13:33 pm
On Tuesday, the Vatican unveiled a "new and improved" weekly edition of its newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, which will begin with the Jan. 19 issue, and include updates to both content and the newspaper's look, according to the director.
The changes are intended to merge new with old, keeping the newspaper's fundamental characteristic, that it's an "echo of papal teaching," Director Giovanni Maria Vian told journalists Jan. 10.
New voices, including both secular and Catholic writers, will be added to four of the main sections of the paper: Vatican information, international news, religious news, and culture.
There will also be new articles written by representatives of different Christian denominations and non-Christian religions, and a new meditation on the Sunday Gospel passage.
