Jeanette De Melo, communications director for the Archdiocese of Denver, has been appointed as editor-in-chief of the National Catholic Register.
“Jeanette's background in Church communications and media relations will provide a unique perspective to the Register,” said publisher Michael Warsaw, who serves as president and CEO of EWTN.
In a Feb. 28 announcement, Warsaw said De Melo will continue efforts to “strengthen” the paper's mission of providing breaking news coverage and news analysis “at the intersection of faith and culture,” both online and in print.
De Melo noted the “legacy of excellent journalism” that the news agency has upheld ever since it originated from the Denver Catholic Register in 1920.
