New hires, staffing changes at NCR

UNITED STATES
National Catholic Reporter

Dennis Coday | Jun. 27, 2014 NCR Today

Effective July 1, Joshua J. McElwee is NCR’s Vatican correspondent. You’ve been reading McElwee’s reporting and feature writing in NCR’s print issues and online for about five years now. He has developed a well-earned reputation for careful and serious investigations on topics as diverse as the continuing development of the nation’s nuclear weapons complex to transparency at the U.S. bishops’ conference in their investigations of theologians. His work has received numerous awards from the Catholic Press Association and one for news writing last year from the Religion Newswriters Association. Over the last year, he has been splitting his time between Washington and Rome, as preparation for his moving to Rome full time. I am happy to announce that move will take place in August.

Also on July 1, Vinnie Rotondaro will join NCR as national correspondent. Rotondaro is a master storyteller and he wants to use those skills to write about how public policy affects the lives of ordinary folks and the Catholic church’s role in shaping public policy. He’ll also keep his eye on national trends in the American Catholic church, whether that’s stories about ministry to migrants or Mass translations.
