Forward Staff Honored
It’s been a good week for the Forward. The paper was recognized last Friday by the Independent Press Association of New York when two staff members received Ippie awards.
Editor J.J. Goldberg won third place in the best editorial category for “Blind Justice,” and staff writer Rebecca Spence won third place in the best labor story category for “Labor Woes Hit Memorial to East Side Wage Slaves.”
The Forward’s Web team was also honored this week: Forward.com won the Silver Medal in the 2007 International Davey Awards.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
