The Comboni Missionaries presence in the world of communication go back to Comboni himself. He founded the 'Annals of the Good Shepherd' as a means to link up with all the benefactors of the African mission. The first name, given by the founder in 1867, was Institute for the Missions of Nigritia. In Italy Nigrizia is still the name of the magazine that replaced the 'Annals'.  The Comboni Missionaries  work in more than thirty countries and have a fair number of publications.

South World web magazine is produced by the Comboni Missionaries and operates from the house of Dawson Place. The Comboni Missionaries work in Africa, Latin America and Asia. In Europe, the Comboni Missionaries are present in Austria, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. They work in missionary animation, and foster the knowledge of the South from a Southern perspective, especially through the media.

The official Comboni Web site is an instrument of communication and dialogue of the Institute about its mission with friends, faithful and people of good will. It aims at offering them information that may lead to collaboration and personal involvement towards the spread of gospel values in today’s world.

The Comboni Missionaries in Asia are only a handful of about twenty members, but with a form of presence that is dynamic. In the Philippines, the only Catholic country of Asia, the Comboni Missionaries aim at widening the scope of the local Church towards the missions, especially through their monthly publication of WORLD MISSION magazine and the training of local personnel for the mission "ad gentes"  (to the Non Christians).

The year, 2009, marked the 70th anniversary of the Comboni Missionary presence in the United States. From there they spread all over the continent and there are now many Comboni Missionaries from the so-called New-World.

Comboni spent all his life for Africa, particularly for Sudan. When he died, at the age of 50, in Khartoum, in the year 1881, the Vicariate of Central Africa was not any more just a name written in the Church’s Maps, it was a reality that started bearing fruits. Today the Comboni missionaries are present in many parts of Africa with their publications.
