The Journalism of
Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola


In her reporting for the Gallup Independent and the National Catholic Reporter, Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola has brought crucial aspects of the Catholic clergy abuse crisis in the Diocese of Gallup to national and international attention. Since 2002, Hardin-Burrola has chronicled the legacy of sexual abuse in the Gallup diocese, which has severely affected the lives of many Hispanic and Native American families in rural Arizona and New Mexico. Hardin-Burrola has provided deeply researched coverage of the complex Gallup diocese, in the years leading up to the filing of the Chapter 11 petition, and as that bankruptcy process continues to run its course.

Below we provide an anthology of her journalism.  We have selected several articles to give you a sense of Hardin-Burrola’s work, and then all her articles, together with relevant editorials by the Gallup Independent, are linked with the most recent at the top. Here are our recommendations from her recent work:

Diocese Pays $17.6M to Claimants – Case Closed, by Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola, Gallup Independent (02/02/17)

The film Spotlight is a reminder of the crucial role that investigative journalism has played in revelations of clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic church.  Important journalism has been done by teams of reporters at big-city newspapers like the Boston Globe, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Dallas Morning News. But reporters working solo at small dailies, weekly alternative newspapers, and in radio, have made a crucial contribution also.  The Catholic clergy abuse crisis demands insightful and courageous local reporting on a global institution with a long and complex history.  Elizabeth Hardin-Burrola’s work is an example of a reporter meeting that challenge.
