Gregory Erlandson was introduced as the new president of the Catholic Press Association at the organization’s annual meeting in Pittsburgh from June 22 to 24, two weeks after his election.
“It’s a great honor to be elected, and it’s also a great responsibility. We are clearly at a time of great change with the media in general,” he told CNA in a June 21 interview.
Erlandson, also the president of Our Sunday Visitor, will serve as president for the press association for two years, beginning at the end of the Association’s Catholic Media Convention on June 24.
During the next two years, he hopes to develop new ways of connecting effectively with Catholics, and to “find new digital ways of reaching people” without neglecting traditional print publications.
