A Transcription of the talk given by Msgr. Paul Tighe at NISCORT on the 1st of October, 2011
You probably have seen documents and heard people talking of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications. But sometimes it is hard to know what it is and what we are supposed to do. I always begin with saying what we are not. We are not the Vatican's Press Office. As you know there is a Vatican Press Office headed by Fr. Lombardi, which does the main deal with the media, the answering of questions, the preparation of information, and the back and forth in preparations like the Pope's visit to Germany, working with the media, so media relations, public relations… handled by the press office… not by us. We are not either a media organization. In the Vatican there is the Newspaper, theres a radio, television station and increasingly an internet presence. But we are not responsible for the operations of that.
