Sylvia Poggioli: 我认为梵蒂冈的报道极具挑战性。首先,梵蒂冈的运作方式常常是不透明的,这使得记者很难获得真实的信息。我将圣彼得广场的视觉错觉比作梵蒂冈的隐秘和不透明的自我呈现方式,这让我印象深刻。其次,与梵蒂冈官员直接接触并不容易,特别是对于非天主教出版物、女性记者以及非知名国际媒体的记者而言。不过,我发现,有时最好的消息来源不是高级神职人员,而是幕后人员,例如秘书和引导员。此外,早期梵蒂冈发言人对信息的控制力很强,因为那时还没有互联网和社交媒体。在报道过程中,我不得不学习神学和宗教知识,并学习如何解读晦涩难懂的神学声明。尽管存在诸多挑战,但我也经历了一些非常棒的时刻,例如见证教宗约翰·保罗二世访问以色列和罗马犹太教堂等历史性时刻,以及在伊拉克乌尔平原见证教宗方济各与穆斯林、基督教和雅兹迪教领袖一起祈祷的时刻,这些都让我深受感动。
