The Holy See Press Office (Latin: Sala Stampa Sanctae Sedis; Italian: Sala Stampa della Santa Sede) publishes the official news of the activities of the Pope and of the various departments of the Roman Curia. All speeches, messages, documents, as well as the statements issued by the Director, are published in their entirety.
Following Burke's appointment as director in 2016, Spanish journalist Paloma García Ovejero took over as vice director, making her the first woman to hold that position.[3] It was also announced that both Burke and García Ovejero, both laymen, would later begin their positions on 1 August 2016.[4] On 31 December 2018, both Burke and García Ovejero announced their resignations.[5][6]
In July 2019, Pope Francis named British-born Italian layman Matteo Bruni as Director.[7] Bruni is the first non-journalist to serve in this position.[8] The same month, the Pope appointed Brazilian laywoman Cristiane Murray, who previously served as the Vatican Radio's commentator for papal events and international trips for 25 years, as Vice Director.[7][9]
