Rome-based outlet has provided coverage of the Church since 1997.

Zenit News Agency, which has provided news from Rome since 1997, has announced its plans to suspend operations.

“Unfortunately, today ZENIT must communicate some sad news: next December 31, 2020, ZENIT will suspend indefinitely all editions of ZENIT in Spanish, English and Italian,” CEO Alberto Ramírez announced in an email to subscribers Thursday.

The news outlet also has editions in French and Arabic, which apparently will continue publishing. Ramírez has not responded to a request for comment.

In his email announcement, Ramírez cited financial difficulties as the reason for shutting down.

“In recent months, the resources needed to maintain the quality necessary to provide this news service have not arrived, so we cannot continue,” he wrote.

Nobody cares. Bergoglio, the pathetic old man believing he’s “relevant” by rehashing the 60’s leftism of his lost youth, is an egomaniac who actually just hosted a conference titled the “Economy of Francis” - which got 5000 likes worldwide. In other words, who cares about him.

Zenit was a very bland source that might have been ok if there had actually been anything to report, but there isn’t. Bergoglio has handed the Church over to its enemies, so he’s of no interest even to them anymore.

“...maintain the quality...”

I remember when Zenit started in 1997: stupid name, horrible coding and poor quality. In 2013 Zenit published a book to promote Bergoglio, “Whirlwind”, that was full of fallacies. Zenit is now defeated by simple market forces.
