The Vatican has brought in the Fox News correspondent in Rome to help improve its communications strategy as it tries to cope with years of communications blunders and one of its most serious scandals in decades, officials said.
Greg Burke, 52, will leave Fox to become the senior communications adviser in the Vatican’s secretariat of state.
“I’m a bit nervous but very excited. Let’s just say it’s a challenge,” Burke said.
He defined his job, which he said he had been offered twice before, as being along the lines of the White House senior communications adviser: “You’re shaping the message, you’re moulding the message, and you’re trying to make sure everyone remains on-message. And that’s tough.”
