The Archdiocese of New York has recently launched the establishment of The Good Newsroom, a new and modern news platform of the Archdiocese.

As reported, the new platform is fully digital in nature, aligning itself with a movement that has been observed in the media sector over the course of the past decade.

According to the press release from the Archdiocese of New York, New York's archbishop said that The Good Newsroom will assist the Catholic community in highlighting the immense good that the Catholic Church provides daily but which is sometimes overlooked.

Moreover, John Cahill, the chancellor of the Archdiocese, said that the new news platform would ensure that more people know about the positive parts of the Catholic faith.

For several years, the Archdiocese has been searching for a strategy that will improve its capacity to interact with its parishioners through timely news, thoughts, and perspectives of the Church and those who follow it. 

The Good Newsroom's delivery will be brisk and agile, and it will have the capacity to disseminate messages to the various populations it serves.

As mentioned, a new team has been assembled for the Archdiocese. Its members include a digital editor, social media manager, video content producers, and webmaster.

The team will reportedly be in charge of leading the initiative of the Archdiocese.

Along with video content, a new website and several social media platforms will disseminate written content in essays and photographs.

One of the youngest bishops in the world, Bishop Joseph Espaillat, has been a member of the team arranging the event. 

Espaillat said that the message must reach the youth. Today, news can be viewed and shared through mobile. 

He also added that they are excited to spearhead this Church shift as it will help Catholics evangelize, as reported.

As a result of the epidemic, the Catholic Church in the New York area has been concentrating its efforts on supporting the use of digital communications by parishes and urging its faithful to return to attending Sunday Mass. 

However, it became evident that the Archdiocese needed to strengthen its outreach to more effectively express how the Church improves society and enhances connection among its members. 

It will be made possible through the Church's efforts to provide services, educate its members, and establish communities.

The Good Newsroom

The Good Newsroom is a new effort of the Archdiocese of New York that makes use of modern and game-changing communication channels that are currently accessible to tell tales through a variety of mediums, including short films, articles, photos, and more extended essays. 

The Archdiocese's communications activities have been given energy and vibrancy thanks to the new quick-publishing model.

As mentioned, The Good Newsroom is an online-only publication disseminated across the Archdiocese and abroad using a specialized website, various social media outlets, and an electronic newsletter.

This digital platform, along with the news and narratives that it offers, will transcend beyond the more than 2 million Catholics that the Archdiocese is tasked with serving and into the wider world. 

In addition, The Good Newsroom is interested in hearing comments, recommendations for stories, and tips from its viewers throughout the Archdiocese of New York.
