The Tablet (Brooklyn)

[2] The Tablet is a property of DeSales Media Group, the communications and technology arm of the Diocese of Brooklyn,[3] which also includes New Evangelization Television (NET-TV) and Nuestra Voz.

In more than a century of existence, The Tablet has gained a reputation as one of the best Catholic newspapers in the United States, winning hundreds of awards for editorial and advertising work in print and online.

Seven years later, William P. Lawler, who published The Monitor for the Newark Archdiocese, made a similar proposal.

By then, McDonnell was ready and suggested the paper's name, in honor of The London Tablet, the preeminent Catholic journal in the English-speaking world at the time.

In 1909, by the end of The Tablet's first year, its subscription base reached 13,000, and Bishop McDonnell purchased the paper.

He saw The Tablet as an "influential means of spreading religious information and instruction and forming a link for the closer welding-together of the far-flung centers of Long Island."

Since then, Bishop DiMarzio has used his column as a way to speak directly to the people on local, national, and international issues.
