America: The National Catholic Weekly

America Centennial

America is celebrating 100 years in publication! Throughout the next year, we will be featuring articles and online features looking at the storied history of the magazine; excerpts from some of our "greatest hits" of our top writers in the last 100 years, and even some humorous "hits and misses," which the magazine gave poor reviews to good books, and good reviews to bad public figures. We invite you to browse through our selection of centennial features posted under the America Century link.

Our Centennial year will conclude with a special, expanded anniversary issue on April 13, 2009, for which we are already accepting space reservations for congratulatory messages. Join us in our centennial celebration by
reserving your ad space today.
