Mike Walsh, the associate publisher of the Catholic Star Herald, is among the six media experts elected to the Catholic Media Association’s Board of Directors.
As a member of the board, Walsh – who was elected newspaper publisher member – will assist in providing leadership, advocacy and expertise in support of Catholic media professionals and organizations across the nation.
“I am genuinely honored,” said Walsh, who also serves as the diocesan Secretariat for Communications. “Since I joined the Diocese of Camden as communications director seven years ago, I have found the CMA to be an incredibly valuable organization, not just for its ability to educate professional communicators like me, but to bring us together – both virtually and physically – to consider the state of Catholic journalism and communications in today’s world.
“I look forward to fostering the good work of the CMA and its members for the next few years as we strive to more widely bring Catholic news and information to all people,” he continued.
Of the six members elected this year, five are new to the Board of Directors. They will serve three-year terms beginning June 8.
Also announced: Pablo Kay, elected western region representative, is the editor-in-chief of Angelus, the multimedia news platform of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles; Michael La Civita, re-elected magazine business staff member, is the communications director for Catholic Near East Welfare Association and serves as the board’s vice president; James Ramos, elected southern region representative, is a Houston-based journalist, photographer and design editor at the Texas Catholic Herald, and Emily Sanna, elected magazine publisher member, is the managing editor of U.S. Catholic magazine.
Established in 1911, the Catholic Media Association is an organization of Catholic publishers and media professionals united in serving the Church. It is the most active group of Catholic media professionals in the world, with more than 200 publication members and 800 individual members.
