The National Catholic Reporter (NCR) is an independent weekly newspaper published since October 1964 by lay and religious of the Roman Catholic Church in the United States. It is circulated in the United States as well as ninety-six other countries on six continents.
NCR prides itself on its reporting and has won the General Excellence award from the Catholic Press Association in the category of national news publications each year from 2000 through 2007. NCR was the first U.S. publication to write about the clergy sex abuse scandal that has rocked the church. Its coverage began in 1985 and for at least five years was virtually alone in drawing attention to the wide spread abuses. The paper took much criticism at the time, but history prooved the paper to be prophetic on this issue.
Well-known writers for the NCR include Joan Chittister, Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, and John L. Allen, Jr.. The paper is based in midtown Kansas City, Mo.
NCR's editorial positions sometimes reject authoritative, binding teachings of the Catholic Church. In this, it differs from "the other NCR," the National Catholic Register, whose editorial position is entirely in line with current Catholic teaching.
For years the paper was published weekly. It is now published twice monthly, indicating that its tired and dated heresies do not appeal to youth. At the same time NCR's internet news coverage has expanded with fresh news and features being placed on the website daily.
