The Cardinal Newman Society Partners with The Catholic Herald
August 17, 2026 — The Cardinal Newman Society has entered into a media partnership with The Catholic Herald, the world-renowned independent Catholic magazine, to provide commentary on the state of Catholic education and expert analysis on education news and trends.
Founded in 1888 in London and now based in New York—with a readership primarily made up of U.S. Catholics—The Catholic Herald has been home to celebrated authors including G.K. Chesterton, Graham Greene, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Evelyn Waugh. It shares The Cardinal Newman Society’s admiration for St. John Henry Cardinal Newman, Doctor of the Church and Patron of Catholic Education.
“Catholic education is under real pressure on both sides of the Atlantic, and The Cardinal Newman Society’s decades of expertise will strengthen how we cover it,” said Edward Barrett-Shortt, Editor-in-Chief of The Catholic Herald.
“The Catholic Herald is well-known for its hardy journalism, insightful commentary, and unflagging fidelity to the Catholic Church,” said Patrick Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society. “It’s the perfect publication to confront the crisis of modern education while reporting the good news of reform and renewal.”
