Covering A Polarized Community — Jane Eisner At The National Jewish Student Journalism Conference

By Forward Staff May 8, 2018

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.

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.
