Help Get The Forward To South By Southwest

The Forward is nationwide, but it has been underrepresented in one particular area — the South By Southwest! You can help us change that.

The Forward has had its finger on the Jewish pulse for over 120 years and has been part of the digital media landscape for nearly a decade. In the past three years, our ambitious new digital strategy has allowed us to reach a wider, younger audience while still offering the insight for which we are famed. Whether investigative news stories, provocative opinion pieces or insightful culture articles, we have successfully gone from being the weekly Forward to once again become the Jewish Daily Forward.

SXSW, a world renowned conference of professionals in media, film, and music, recognizes the Forward as a cutting edge leader in digital publishing and has invited our CEO & Publisher, Rachel Fishman Feddersen to join one of the panels that’s competing to be heard.

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

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly. 

— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
