New SIGNIS Media (3/2008): The Changing Media Landscape

Brussels, October 1st, 2008 (SIGNIS) - The new issue of our magazine SIGNIS Media takes a look at the new media landscape and at the history of SIGNIS, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the organisation.

(JPEG) 80 years ago Catholics working in media got together to change the media landscape of the time by creating two organizations: Unda for radio (and later, television) and OCIC for cinema. The driving forces behind these associations were Catholic families who saw that human values, spirituality, solidarity and even democracy were threatened by the commercial evolution of the media. Today, as the media landscape is once again reshaped by the emergence of Internet, mobile phones and ‘new’ media, the multimedia companies face a new challenge. It is a challenge that SIGNIS and its members must also take up, in dialogue with all those who want a value-orientated media world.

Also in this issue: Looking at the Female Condition in Cinema, Evangelizing through New Media, Catholic radio in Brasil, Children TV films, SIGNIS 80th anniversary, etc.
