Associate Editor, America, 1972-75, 2003-09
Editor in Chief, America, 1975-84

Father O'Hare's long association with America began in 1972 after returning from several years of service in the Phillipines. After serving as editor in chief from 1975-84, he was named president of Fordham University and remained there until 2003. Father O'Hare returned to America in 2003 to serve as an associate editor. He retired in 2009 and is now involved in pastoral work.

Father O'Hare received received numerous accolades for his work at America. In 1976, 1978, 1981 and 1984 his column, "Of Many Things" was recognized by the Catholic Press Association in its annual awards as the Best Regular Column originating in a magazine. He was born in New York City in 1931 and entered the Jesuits in 1948 and was ordained in 1961. His early training as a Jesuit took place in the Phillipines where he also taught at the Ateneo de Manila University from 1955 to 1958 and again from 1967 to 1972. He earned a doctorate in Philosophy from Fordham University (1968).

While president of Fordham University, Father O'Hare served as chair of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) and chair of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU). He is a former trustee of the Asia Society and was part of a study mission to the Philippines sponsored by that Society in 1986. He is the vice president of the Appeal of Conscience Foundation and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

From March 1986 until December 1989, Father O'Hare served on the newly-established Mayor's Committee on Appointments, a five-person citizen's committee charged with interviewing and recommending candidates for New York City commissions. He also was a member of the Charter Revision Commission of the City of New York chaired by Richard Ravitch (1986-1988). In April 1988 Mayor Edward I. Koch appointed him chair of the Campaign Finance Board, a five-member non-partisan board created to oversee a new law on voluntary public financing of municipal elections established by the City Council and Mayor Koch in February 1988. He has been reappointed to this position twice by Mayor Rudolph Giuliani in January 1994 and in April 1999.

Father O'Hare has received numerous honors including 10 honorary degrees. In 1992, he was honored by the Citizens Union with its Civil Leadership Award for his work as founding chairman of the Campaign Finance Board. In 1994 he received the COGEL Award from the Council on Governmental Ethics Law for distinguished achievement in the regulation of government ethics. In 1999, he received the "I Love an Ethical New York Award" presented by Common Cause/NY for his 10 years of service as founding chair of the New York City Campaign Finance Board.

America was founded by American Jesuits in 1909. That year, its first weekly issue was dated April 17. The magazine was modeled on The Tablet of London, a respected Catholic weekly review. America celebrated its centenary in 2009 and is now in its 114th year of continuous publication, making the magazine older than The New Yorker, The New Republic, Time Magazine and most other U.S. journals.

The editorial rooms of America have been located at various addresses on the island of Manhattan over the years since 1909. We began life at 32 Washington Square West. In 1911 the editors moved to 59 East 83rd Street. In 1918 the editorial residence was a town house at 39 West 86th Street. Then in 1926, another move was made, this time to a double house at 329 West 108th Street, where the editors remained for 39 years. Next came a move to 106 West 56th Street, where America was headquartered from 1962 to 2016.  A very generous gift from Cardinal Richard Cushing of Boston made it possible to purchase that building, which had been New York headquarters of a national fraternity, Phi Gamma Delta. The nine-story facility contained living quarters, library, editorial and business offices, meeting halls and chapel designed by Thomas Slon, S.J. America moved to its current headquarters at 1212 Sixth Avenue in 2017, in the heart of Midtown Manhattan on The Avenue of the Americas.

Since 1909, there have been over 200 U.S. and Canadian Jesuits associated with the magazine, many for terms of only one or two years. On the other end of the scale, some editors have had long tenures. Father Charles W. Whelan was associated with this review for 45 years; Father John W. Donohue for 35 years; Father John LaFarge for 37 years; Father Vincent S. Kearney for 32 years; Father Benjamin L. Masse for 30 years and Father Paul L. Blakely for 29 years. Today, the staff of America is composed of lay people and Jesuits both.

The Founder of America was also the founder of The Catholic Encyclopedia. He heads the list of editors-in-chief:

• Rev. John J. Wynne, S.J. 1909-1910
• Rev. Thomas J. Campbell, S.J. 1910-1914
• Rev. Richard H. Tierney, S.J. 1914-1925
• Rev. Wilfrid Parsons, S.J. 1925-1936
• Rev. Francis X. Talbot, S.J. 1936-1944
• Rev. John LaFarge, S.J. 1944-1948
• Rev. Robert C. Hartnett, S.J. 1948-1955
• Rev. Thurston Davis, S.J. 1955-1968
• Rev. Donald R. Campion, S.J. 1968-1975
• Rev. Joseph A. O'Hare, S.J. 1975-1984
• Rev. George W. Hunt, S.J. 1984-1998
• Rev. Thomas J. Reese, S.J. 1998-2005

Generally, you'll want some style on your pages of text. Using good web writing practices, the proper way to do this is to use the styled elements available to you.

This is Heading 2

There are six levels of headings, and the first is reserved for the page title and is automatically applied for you.

Generally, when writing for the web:

1. Use bullet lists to control content
2. Be concise
3. Remember that most of your readers scan, and a big block of text will not be read carefully.

To really set off a text item, use a blockquote. This can be treated like a magazine-style quote, which may be indirectly related to page content or pulling one of the most important items from it.

This is Heading 3

More than one level of sub-heading may be required in longer pages or when describing multiple concepts on a page.

• Use headings to categorize your text
• Use other text elements sparingly, but with effect

You may find it necessary to use a horizontal rule to separate truly distinct items on a page.

This is Heading 4

Have a look, there are six levels of headings available. You may not use them all, but it's useful to know where they are and what they do.

This is Heading 5

There are several elements available to you in basic text to add impact: bold and italics are available, but use them only if you want those particular typographic effects. It usually makes more sense to usestrong (which will show up as bold or some other "strong" style depending on the circumstances) and emphasis (which will show up as italics or some other "emphatic" style depending on the circumstances). For the names of books, movies and other long works, it's often good to use cite which is meant for that purpose. Underlines and strikethroughs are included, but very rarely used.

It is good to be aware of the symbols available to you, listed under the button that looks like an omega. Symbols are important - including copyright symbols, foreign characters, and a few other common symbols.  The proper symbols to use on the web have a special character code.

►Warning! Using improper symbols will cause some browsers to display ugly marks on your site that can make text unreadable.

This is Heading 6

In general, you will probably not have several headings cascading without text in between, but you may. Test it out if you have concerns.

You can use tables, but don't do it unless you have a good reason - such as a set of numbers that needs to be displayed in columns as, well, a table.
