Published: 2005-12-19

NEW YORK (CNS) -- Catholic New York, newspaper of the Archdiocese of New York, will advance to a biweekly publishing schedule beginning in January. The change was approved by Cardinal Edward M. Egan of New York in November. The first biweekly issue will be dated Jan. 5. The newspaper will be printed and distributed every other week, for a total of 24 issues during the calendar year. A summer schedule will be in effect for July and August with one less issue published in each of those months. Catholic New York has been operating as a monthly since September 2001. For the first 20 years of its existence, after its founding by Cardinal Terence Cooke, it was issued weekly. "This is a big step for Catholic New York," said John Woods, the paper's editor in chief. "It will allow us to present news and information that is important to our readers in a much more timely fashion."
