This pope created the Secretariat of Communications and replaced the last Jesuit official in the Vatican with Greg Burke, former Fox News correspondent, as head of his press office.
Pope Benedict gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to charity and held dinners for and with the poor. There may have been other works of charity equally unreported. 
When in the last four years have you read a report about the Congregation for the Evangelization of the People getting any attention in this pontificate? The only valid purpose of the pope and the Vatican is a focus on Jesus' great command to his followers. The "news" should be about Jesus, not the pope always in the spotlight.
