New Republic Cancels an Invite to Foe of Saudis (Correction)
An October 10 article, “New Republic Cancels an Invite to Foe of Saudis,” mischaracterized Stephen Schwartz’s affiliation with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. He was formerly the director of the foundation’s Islam and Democracy Project and is no longer affiliated with the foundation.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
