Silow-Carroll Wins David Twersky Award

By JTA February 17, 2012

Andrew Silow-Carroll of the New Jersey Jewish News won the first David Twersky Journalism Award.

Named for the paper’s former editor who died of cancer in 2010 at age 60, the prize was awarded to Silow-Carroll for a column he wrote in September about rabbis politicizing the pulpit.

The award, which was established to honor journalists at the NJJN and the Forward – two publications which Twersky once served – also carries with it a $1,000 honorarium. The award will be presented at the ceremony in the spring.

A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
