The ZENIT news agency, in its dispatch of today reports that Vatican News
(ex-Vatican Radio) will resume its shortwave broadcasts in Portuguese for
Brazil, as of August 1-st, 2019. This move is in the context of the Synod
for the Amazonian region, which will be held between the 6-th and the 27-th
of October. Vatican News hopes, in this way, to reach a target audience of
more than 25 million people, which do not have easy access to the new
technologies. (Cristian Mocanu via Bclnews mailing list)
