Jane Eisner, editor-in-chief of the Forward will be appearing at the 2018 National Jewish Student Journalism Conference, a selective gathering of Jewish student writers, from 2-3:15 p.m. on May 14 at the NYU Bronfman Center (7 E. 10th St, 5th Floor, New York). She will join an editors’ roundtable called “Covering a Polarized Community” with Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) editor Andrew Silow-Carroll and Jewish Week editor Gary Rosenblatt, moderated by sociologist and Hebrew Union College professor Steven M. Cohen.
They will discuss how Jewish press is changing, as well as how to cover the diverse and increasingly polarized American Jewish community.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
