James J. Coan was appointed editor and Joseph J. Timmes was appointed managing editor. 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.” In 1931, the paper's name was changed to Brooklyn Tablet, but it was changed back to The Tablet in 1939. From 1933 to 1973, there was a separate Italian paper, Il Crociato. In 1940, The Tablet Home Delivery Service begun. In June 1972, The Tablet added a monthly Spanish supplement. A separate Spanish paper, El Nuevo Amanacer (The New Dawn), was published from 1981 to 1994. Manuel Gonzalez served as its first editor, followed by Sister Eve Gillcrist, O.P. In December 1972, Ms. Tablet, an annual women's issue, made its first appearance. The paper featured women writers more prominently than it had previously, especially Sister Camille D’Arienzo, R.S.M. From 1989 to 2007, Tablet Week in Review aired on The Prayer Channel. In 2001, The Tablet launched its website, thetablet.org. In October 2003, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio's “Put Out Into the Deep” column first appeared. This was the first time in the paper's history that a diocesan bishop wrote a weekly column. Since then, Bishop DiMarzio has used his column as a way to speak directly to the people on local, national, and international issues. On April 23, 2011, The Tablet published a Spanish-language insert, “La Reconciliacion” (The Reconciliation), which went on to become The Tablet’s Spanish-language sister publication, Nuestra Voz, which has become a monthly newspaper and daily digital news operation.
