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.

We're building on 127 years of independent journalism to help you develop deeper connections to what it means to be Jewish today.
With so much at stake for the Jewish people right now — war, rising antisemitism, a high-stakes U.S. presidential election — American Jews depend on the Forward's perspective, integrity and courage.
