Italian Vaticanista Sandro Magister has a piece (in English) on recent and upcoming changes at the Pope’s own newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano.
Nearly 150 years old, the paper got a new editor in late October, who has already made noticeable changes, including smaller photos and more writing by non-Catholics and women.
In the works: a graphic redesign and an online edition, so that the whole world can read a publication currently restricted to a few thousand subscribers.
