The Andina News Agency is the official agency tasked with capturing the official photographs of Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Peru—which begins tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11—a mission for which a major journalistic operation has been organized, noted Félix Paz, Director of Journalistic Media at Editora Perú.
In an interview with the program León XIV en casa (Leo XIV at Home) on Andina Canal Online, he indicated that 34 photojournalists are being deployed to all locations on the apostolic visit’s itinerary to ensure the best possible images of this significant event.
He further specified that the state news agency and the official gazette, El Peruano, have prepared to meet this challenge from a technological standpoint as well, with the journalistic coverage designed to operate across multiple platforms.
“We can guarantee that, just minutes after the coverage takes place, the photographs will be available on the Andina agency’s website. There is also a direct link to the official website of the Episcopal Conference. In this regard, we are providing a highly robust platform so that media outlets worldwide can make use of these photographs,” he stated.
Additionally, Paz Quiroz recalled that Andina also served as the official photo agency for Pope Francis’s visit to Peru, which took place from January 18 to 21, 2018. Those images were subsequently compiled in the book Francisco en el Perú (Francis in Peru), published by Editora Perú.
“Following our coverage of Pope Leo XIV, we also plan to publish a book, which we hope to present at next year’s Book Fair,” stated the Director of Media Operations at Editora Perú. He added that arrangements are being made with the Peruvian Episcopal Conference (CEP) to organize a photographic exhibition centered on the Pope’s visit to Peru.
He highlighted that extensive coordination has taken place with both the CEP and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure the success of the coverage provided by the Andina news agency and the official newspaper, El Peruano.
He also announced that El Peruano will soon release a special edition dedicated to the visit of the Pope—who is of Peruvian nationality—to his home country.
Extraordinary news coverage
The Andina News Agency and the official newspaper El Peruano will provide extraordinary news coverage of the apostolic visit of Pope Leo XIV to Peru, which will take place from Wednesday, November 11, to Monday, November 16, spanning Lima, Callao, Chiclayo, Cusco, and Pucallpa.
A total of 65 media professionals from Editora Perú—including reporters, editors, photojournalists, and videographers—have been accredited to cover the arrival of the first Peruvian Pope in his homeland.
Among them are 34 photojournalists, who will be responsible for capturing official images of the scheduled events in both the capital and other regions of the country; they will be granted privileged vantage points to document every aspect of the visit.
