And the ‘Internet Oscar’ Goes to … Forward.com
There will be no winsome Sally Field-style acceptance speech, no wacky Cher-inspired get-up, and definitely no overzealous kiss à la Adrien Brody. While we’re not prone to theatrics, we at www.forward.com are kvelling about our “Internet Oscar” nod.
On Tuesday, we got word that our site, for the third consecutive year, has been named an Official Webby Honoree — a title bestowed upon us by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. The Webby Awards, which have been handed out since 1996, are widely seen as a yardstick of success among purveyors of new media.
The Forward’s site is in good company; among the six fellow honorees in the newspaper Web site category are The Wall Street Journal and USA Today.
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
