Profa. Dra. Palma PEÑA JIMÉNEZ


Abstract

This article develops an analysis of the relevant stages of L´Osservatore Romano over its 150
years of continuous publication, and a study on the structure and editorial features that define the
Vatican newspaper, a essential reference to the Catholic world. It also reveals its mission, to
serve the Pope and the Holy See, in addition to their high quality dissemination tool of Catholic
doctrine. However, the study demonstrates its lack of competitiveness, despite the immense
potential of the newspaper.
