Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Forward is proud to honor several accomplished journalists in its “#FearlessWomen in Journalism Gala,” including its very own editor-in-chief Jane Eisner.
Jane is celebrating 10 years in her post, as first woman to lead the Forward. Her fellow honorees include Jill Abramson, the first woman to serve as executive editor of The New York Times; Dana Bash, an award-winning journalist and chief political correspondent at CNN; Marge Magner, former chair of Gannett and TEGNA; and Lynn Povich, the first woman senior editor at Newsweek and author of “The Good Girls Revolt.”
The gala will be 6:30 p.m. December 5 at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in downtown Manhattan. In addition to the awards, there will be a dinner reception and music.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
