National Catholic Register gets new look

Published: 2007-01-24

NORTH HAVEN, Conn. (CNS) -- The National Catholic Register is marking its 80th anniversary year with a makeover. "Our new look will provide better page, graphic and story design structures for communicating our editorial mission," the newspaper said in a guide to the changes posted on its Web site. "The redesign will also help the reader more clearly differentiate between news, features and advertising content," it said. The design changes were introduced in the Jan. 7-13 issue, the first of the new year. The Register, which has a national circulation of about 34,000, traces its roots back to the founding of the Denver Catholic Register in 1905. In 1970 the National Catholic Register was purchased by California businessman Patrick Frawley and moved to Los Angeles. In 1995 a group of investors led by the Legionaries of Christ religious order purchased the paper and moved its headquarters to Connecticut.
