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.

Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief

And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over.
