February 17, 2009
Rome Reports and HispanicUSA Inc are teaming up to bring Hispanic audiences in the United States and Puerto Rico quality religious programming and the latest news on Pope Benedict XVI.
An international Catholic television news agency located just steps from the Vatican, Rome Reports covers all angles of the Church through its Weekly Program “The World Seen from the Vatican” and quality documentaries. The agency also offers correspondent services to television stations around the world.
“We are very excited to have found a communications firm that can combine innovative marketing ideas with extensive broadcasting experience to introduce our programming and services to the US Hispanic market as well as Puerto Rico” stated Juan Boo, Director of Rome Reports.
Over the last few years, demand for news reports about the Pope and the Holy See has increased, creating a real need for quality reporting from Rome. Rome Reports is committed to bridging that gap by helping Catholics and Christians alike receive and understand the message from the Church.
Communications firm, HispanicUSA understands the importance of servicing an ever-growing Hispanic market. And now, together with Rome Reports, they will be offering broadcasters in the U.S. a chance to attract a critical market segment with Spanish-language religious programming.
“We have been blessed to have had the opportunity to work with the likes of DIRECTV Más, ABC Radio en Español, and Harpo Studios with the launch of the Oprah Winfrey show en Español and many other great friends,” said Jose Cancela, Principal, Hispanic USA. “But, to have the opportunity to work with Rome Reports and the Holy See, is very special and exiting to us”.
