The Forward won three Ippie Awards on Thursday, as the City University of New York’s Graduate School of Journalism recognized the publication for two articles and the quality of its Web site.
Leading the pack was Forverts reporter Jordan Kutzik, who won a first-place award for a Yiddish editorial about the Armenian genocide (translated into English here). Allan Jalon came in third in another category for his essay on the rediscovery of a long-lost, never-screened Paul Newman film. The Forward’s production and design team, led by Kurt Hoffman, got a second-place award for the publication’s top-notch and user-friendly Web site.
The Ippies are distributed by the CUNY school’s Center for Community and Ethnic Media. Kutzik, Jalon and Hoffman will be honored at a Friday night dinner at CUNY.

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
