Your National Catholic Reporter website enters a new and exciting phase April 4th with a new design and new features, including several NCRonline exclusives not found in the print version of the newsweekly.

First, please note our new website name, NCRonline.org, which reflects our expanded efforts in electronic publishing. We suggest you make the change in your “favorites” folder on your web browser. For your convenience, NatCath.org will still bring you to the new NCR homepage.

You will find your old favorites, including the regular newsweekly content, John Allen’s “Word from Rome,” and Bishop Tom Gumbleton’s “Peace Pulpit,” in new easy to read formats.

New features include a daily look at the world and current events by a member of the NCR staff called “Today’s Take”; a weekly column by Benedictine Sister Joan Chittister, “From Where I Stand”; and a weekly column by authors outside the United States called “Global Perspective”.

All this, posted and available several days earlier than you receive your printed version of the newsweekly.

Beginning April 4th, current NCR newsweekly readers, after registering, will have full access to the entire website with all its features and articles and postings. Those who are not current subscribers to the newsweekly can subscribe to NCR’s electronic version for a reduced annual price with full access to all the new site’s features.

NCRonline will continue to provide more limited news and features to all who visit the site. Complete information about NCR Publishing will be available to all as well.
