RMG – The new media at the service of the Word |
In the form of “wiki” web 2.0, it will enable users and professional communicators to consult the resources and also contribute to the collective construction of the database.
Intermirifica, accessible to all on the Internet, makes it possible to consult Catholic Media (radio, television and audiovisual producers) in all parts of the world, either using names or geographical locations as the basis for searching the database, in order to obtain information including telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and websites … and also contact the offices. To keep it uptodate, users will be able to send their own comments, make requests or correct the information provided.
The main aim is to enable Catholic Media to keep in touch with each other and collaborate and share common projects more.
According to information from the Pontifical Council, the service at present is available in Spanish but shortly there will be English, French and Portuguese versions.
To take part in Intermirifica and contribute to the database it is sufficient to register on the site as a user-editor and obtain the approval of the moderator for a given language group. The moderators, chosen from among National Delegates of the Bishops’ Media Offices, Delegates of Signis or other Catholic Institutions will be responsible for the selection – acceptance or rejection – of editorial contributions. Checking the accuracy of the data provided will be the responsibility of the administrators of the project, representatives of the promoting bodies.
The Catholic portal intermirifica.net, which clearly refers to the only document of the Vatican Council dealing with Social Communication is at the service of Catholic Media and aims to become “the Church’s Media Yellow Pages”.
Further information can be found on the video.
