In the wake of the Vatican's media reform, a new medium has replaced the 86-year-old pope's station these days. Under the title Vatican News (www.vaticannews.va), the various previously separate media will report together in the future.

Initially, six languages will be started. Alongside Italian are English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German. The language editors were assembled for this purpose already in the summer. Father Bernd Hagenkord SJ, the former head of the German-language editorial board of Vatican Radio, has taken over the task of "Chief of Service", he is the coordinator of the content and work of the new joint editorial board.

On behalf of the Superior General, Father Hagenkord also coordinates the activities of the nearly twenty Jesuits employed in the Vatican media.

Radio Vatican was founded in 1931 by the Jesuits and until last year also led by the Order. In January 2016, the station, together with the other Vatican media, entered a common structure, the Vatican Secretariat for Communication. In October of this year, the Secretariat and the Order concluded an agreement on the future participation of the Jesuits in the media work of the Vatican.
