Siyeli Handa enters cyber space

The Archdiocesan of Catholic Church launched its online radio ‘Siyeli Handa’, which could be listen by logging to siyelihanda.blogspot.com.

The Archdiocesan Social Communication Centre launched the radio on June 6 entering into the cyber space. “Today we have arrived at a crtical era. The media that we were accustomed to see and hear is fast disappearing. Olden day categories the nomenclatures are outdated. New technologies have taken over from all sides.

Media has taken a commandeering position in many areas. We cannot compromise today. We have been necessitated to face the brunt of it and respond fairly and squarely. The social media is revolusionising the entire world.” said Rev. Fr. Benedict Joseph, the director, Archdiocesan Social Communication Centre .

“If I may turn to our communications centre, as far back as 1972 our studio had mono system. In 80s we switched on to Stereo system, now it is digital and more. There is so much of competition and new modes of communication. The Church has to manage her affairs to beign in the   thick of this scenario. Our approach has to be professional and well established,” Fr. Benedict said.

“It is at this juncture His eminence Malcolm Card.Ranjith threw the challenge to us who are in the field of communications and directed us to see to the feasibility of a Catholic Radio Station to start with. Our request was made to the higher authorities but it was of no avail. While we pursue this we thought that we  shall embark on an online radio joined to our website since time was running out,” he described how the web radio was developed.
