Letter from the Editor: January 2023.
In November, the Herald hosted two dinners in America to launch our new non-profit 501c3 Catholic Herald Institute. Our vision is to transform our 135 year Catholic media legacy brand into a multi-media Catholic platform with a global audience and influence to match. The institute will provide us with an unrivalled sister platform to debate and safeguard the most important political, spiritual and moral issues of the day.
The key to the Herald’s identity – which will be 135 years old this year – has always been our writing. At the 2022 PPA Independent Publisher Awards in London, we won a PPA award for best writing – unheard of for a religious magazine and we were also nominated (from over 200 entries) for Consumer Magazine of the Year. Only through original reporting can we hope to influence the future of the church as well as hold the church to account.
