Abstract

Religious information focused on the Vatican has no particular characteristics that distinguish it from news in other areas. Yet, covering the Holy See does entail certain demands that imply an enhanced flow of communication and timely reporting. This article analyzes the so-called Vaticanologists or Vatican experts, a particular breed of professional journalists who are accredited to the Press Office of the Holy See and are based in Rome or travel there often. A description of the various profiles is provided, followed by Vatican's institutional response to some of the requests, gaps or suggestions voiced by Vaticanologists to improve their reporting.
