Two writers for the Forward have been named finalists for the 2017 Deadline Club Awards.
Simi Horwitz is a finalist in the category of Reporting by a Newspaper with Circulation Under 100,000 for her three-part series on Hasidic women. The first item of that series focused on the women helming Orthodox newspapers, the next on Orthodox cinema’s woman-led revolution, and the last on the increasing prominence of Orthodox woman singers.
Allan M. Jalon is a finalist in the category of Arts Reporting for his article “Paul Newman’s Lost Masterpiece — And How We Rediscovered It.”
The Deadline Club is the New York City Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Their annual awards honor print, broadcast, and digital journalism created in New York City. Winners of this year’s awards will be announced at a dinner on May 22.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover. All donations are being matched by the Forward Board - up to $100,000.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
