UNITED STATES
National Catholic Reporter

Dennis Coday | Jan. 7, 2014 NCR Today

The Boston Globe, which is exploring the launch of a free-standing publication devoted to Catholicism, has announced that John L. Allen Jr., a reporter with NCR since 1997, will be joining the newspaper as an associate editor.

John’s new job begins Feb. 1. Until then, he’ll keep reporting for NCR, including coverage from Rome later this month.

We will miss John and the contributions he has made to NCR over the years. You know John as a journalist or a speaker, but we also know John as a colleague and a friend. While we regret that he will no longer be reporting for NCR, we also recognize on a professional level that this is an important career move for him.

We wish him well in his new challenges.
