This Sunday marked 17 years since the founding of the Basilica Media Centre, the press branch of the Romanian Patriarchate. Journalists from all five of its components were celebrating by bringing live coverage of the annual feast of St. Demetrius the New, the patron saint of Bucharest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Founded on October 27, 2007, Basilica Media Centre was one of Patriarch Daniel’s first major initiatives. The outlet serves as the Romanian Patriarchate’s communications hub, including Radio Trinitas<\/a>, Trinitas TV<\/a>, Lumina publications<\/a>, Basilica News Agency, and the Press and Public Relations Office.<\/p>\n

The five departments were designed to work together seamlessly, \u201clike five fingers of a hand, enabling the Church to provide accurate information to believers on its life and activities today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2007, Radio Trinitas had already been operating for nearly a decade, and Lumina newspaper was two years old. The oldest of the Patriarchate\u2019s media institutions, the Press and Public Relations Office, had been established shortly after 1990.<\/p>\n

Trinitas TV and the Basilica News Agency joined the lineup to enhance the Church\u2019s reach further. Although the Basilica News Agency initially functioned as a department within the media centre in 2007, it began its formal online activity on June 16, 2008, via the basilica.ro website.<\/p>\n

As a nonprofit entity without legal personality, Basilica Media Centre operates as a subunit within the Patriarchal Administration, devoted to accurate and comprehensive communication on behalf of the Church.<\/p>\n
