History
Early background
A website under the name News.va launched on 27 June 2011. At the time, it was often referred to as The Vatican Today. News.va launched The Pope App in January 2013.
Founding of ''Vatican News''
On 27 June 2015, Pope Francis, through a motu proprio () apostolic letter, established the Secretariat for Communications in the Roman Curia, with the aim of unifying and optimizing Vatican communication. The website News.va and the Pontifical Council were expected to be incorporated in it eventually. The Vatican News website lists this date as the beginning of the publication.
