Catholic Communicators Getting New Impulse
In the media world, times have changed and they are still changing: Catholic media people have noticed and are adapting to today’s context.
For over 70 years, Catholic professionals working in the area of cinema (producers, directors but also a large number of cinema critics) and those working in radio and television have belonged to two separate international associations: OCIC (for cinema and AV) and Unda (for radio and television). For a long time, these media did not have much in common. But in the digital age, media lines are blurred and media people are active in several fields.
So, OCIC and Unda members are now getting ready to create a new WORLD CATHOLIC ASSOCIATION FOR COMMUNICATION: SIGNIS. It will be bringing together national associations of members in some 140 countries, and not only film and broadcast people, but media educators, media journalists, webmasters of Catholic sites, professors of communication studies, etc.
The launching of this new world association will take place during the next Unda/OCIC world congress, in Rome, in November 2001. SIGNIS will be a relevant and efficient way to bring Catholic communication to the front stage!
