Catholic News Service

Catholic News Service, serving since 1920 as a news agency specializing in reporting religion, is the primary source of national and world news that appears in the U.S. Catholic press. It is also a leading source of news for Catholic print and broadcast media throughout the world.

CNS speeds news a minimum of five days a week to client publications, which have publishing rights, including the diocesan newspaper The Catholic Accent.

Nearly every English-language Catholic newspaper in the world uses CNS. While created in 1920 by the bishops of the United States, CNS is editorially independent and a financially self-sustaining division of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
