THANKS TO ALL WHO JOINED US!

This event was not recorded.

The Forward and Jewish Currents are two of the oldest and most influential Jewish publications in the US.

Join Jodi Rudoren, Editor-in-Chief of the Forward and Arielle Angel, Editor-in-Chief of Jewish Currents, in a wide-ranging discussion on the state of American Jewish media. They will discuss ways each publication balances uniquely Jewish perspectives in a medium beholden to the impartiality of journalistic ethics, the pitfalls and power of public opinion writing and the density of intellectual and historical discourse. Does the “Jewish” of their titles refer to their approaches to the work or their audience? How do they ensure the integrity of their publications’ missions while juggling Israel and US politics, Jewish communal politics, and antisemitism? How is their work informed by a historical understanding of American Jewish communities?

A wide-ranging discussion on the state of American Jewish media moderated by Jo Ellen Green Kaiser, CEO of J. The Jewish News of Northern California, and with an introduction by Ari Y. Kelman, Professor of Education and Jewish Studies and Director, Berman Archive, Stanford.

Sponsored by Taube Center for Jewish Studies. Presented in conjunction with the Berman Archive.
