The launch of the new site is an important step in the renewal of the service offered by the agency to the many people fascinated by Don Bosco and by his charisma, and to the leaders of the Congregation of which ANS is the official channel of communication.
For this reason, it is expected that the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, who strongly supported this project; the Councillor for Social Communication, Fr Filiberto González, with other members of the General Council in Rome, members of the community of the Generalate and lay collaborators of the mission will be present on 15 March at the ceremony of presentation of the new site.
The new site will still be available at the usual address: www.infoans.org. It was developed on the Linux platform, according to the guidelines of the Congregation, which prefer "open source" resources, and to allow for ongoing innovation and improvement.
The sharing of contents will be increasingly important on the new site. This is true both for dissemination through social networks – Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube – and for the creation of an interactive communication space involving Delegates for Social Communication, people working in the media and Salesian supporters on all five continents.
A change as important as the beginning of the new site will also be accompanied by another important change in symbolic and graphic identity. The new ANS logo retains its constituent elements, but draws attention more to the specific work of the agency.
