Leading the Way

SQPN.com is going through some major changes this year. We started small, with a couple of Catholic podcasts, like the Catholic Insider and the Daily Breakfast. But soon, more and more Catholics shared our enthusiasm for new media and started podcasts of their own.

Over the past 5 years, SQPN has grown into a worldwide network of Catholic content producers and their audiences. The Catholic New Media Celebration that we organize each year reflects this expansion: podcasters, bloggers, writers, musicians, webmasters and programmers find each other around a common desire to use their talents to evangelize and to reach out to the world.

Broadening the Network
Our website wants to reflect this diversity and the broad scope of new Catholic media. In the past, the website featured the work of a couple of affiliate podcasters. This year, SQPN wants to expand its reach by supporting and promoting all the exciting initiatives in new Catholic media. We invite any Catholic communicator to be part of our network by letting us know about their blogs, websites, apps, podcasts, books or videos.

Like the Star of Bethlehem, we want to ‘lead the way’ to an encounter with Christ. We do this by ‘leading the way’ to the media that help people on this journey to Christ.

A New Layout
We have been experimenting with different layouts for the website, and we love the current one: it enables us to share news about different types of media and to give you regular updates about new podcasts and other audiovisual productions that are being produced each week. You can sample the content on our site, and we will direct you to the places where you can find more content and information.

We will soon introduce you to a couple of new writers that will be bringing you this news on a daily basis.

What do you think of the new website and of the new approach? Share your reactions and your tips and suggestions in the comments!
