The National Catholic Reporter has named Christopher White as its new national correspondent. He succeeds Heidi Schlumpf, who was named executive editor of the publication in March.
White previously served as national correspondent at Crux, where he covered the intersection of the U.S. and global church, politics and culture. In that position, White reported from dioceses across the United States and filed from 15 countries. He also regularly reported on the Vatican from Rome and has traveled on the papal plane with Pope Francis.
Recently, White broke the story of an off-the-record conversation between President Donald Trump and U.S. Catholic leaders that sparked a national conversation about the longstanding ties between the institutional church and the Republican Party.
“Chris is a rising star among Catholic journalists, and we at NCR are excited for him to continue his career here,” said Schlumpf. “His coverage of the church, politics and culture — with a special attention to the marginalized — will fit well with our publication’s mission.”
