New Internet Site for News about World Youth Day (WYD)

July 1, 2008

Several Catholic media organizations have joined together to offer news and videos of the latest events at World Youth Day (WYD) Australia. The site is located at www.wydcrossmedia.org. It includes daily news highlights from Zenit News Agency based in Rome. It also includes videos that can be downloaded for free if you first download their media player.

The site also has material that can be used during these last few weeks of preparation leading up to WYD.

In this age of increased communications, this site will be an interesting example of how news agencies can collaborate to offer a unified website that addresses a specific topic.
