National Catholic Reporter Publishing Company

National Catholic Reporter was founded in 1964, amid the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, to apply the tools of professional journalism to the Catholic Church. The publishing company prides itself on its independent status and its consequent ability -- and duty -- to go where other Catholic news sources cannot.

We publish the National Catholic Reporter daily online at NCRonline.org and in print every other week. We also publish Global Sisters Report, a source of news and information about Catholic sisters and the critical issues facing the people they serve; and EarthBeat, which covers stories about the climate crisis, faith and action.

These publications are committed to shaping a world that recognizes the sacredness and dignity of every human being, regardless of religious belief, gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. Throughout its history, NCR has been a voice for the unheard, the silenced and the marginalized. It has held all authority, secular or religious, accountable.

Our Mission:

NCR connects Catholics to church, faith and the common good with independent news, analysis and spiritual reflection.
