The Catholic News Agency (CNA) is a news service owned by Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN)[1] that provides news related to the Catholic Church to a global Anglophone audience. It was founded in 2004 in Denver, Colorado, United States as the English section of the worldwide ACI Group, which publishes the Spanish-language news service ACI Prensa [es]. It was acquired by EWTN in 2014.[2] It is now based in Washington, D.C.

In 2011, CNA said its editors would provide free news, features, commentary, and photojournalism to editors of newspapers.[3]

Leadership

[edit]

As of January 2023, CNA's executive director is Jeanette De Melo, the longtime editor-in-chief of the National Catholic Register, which is also owned by EWTN. De Melo currently serves as executive director of both the Register and CNA.[4]

CNA was led by editor-in-chief J.D. Flynn from Aug. 1, 2017 until Dec. 31, 2020, when he departed with Washington bureau chief Ed Condon to form The Pillar.[5][6]
