Tooting Our Own Horn
On October 27, New York’s Independent Press Association, a not-for-profit organization that supports independent publications committed to social justice, recognized three Forward articles at its annual Ippies Award dinner.
An editorial by Forward editor J.J. Goldberg on Chile’s January elections (“Chile Future,” January 20, 2006) was given honorable mention.
An investigative piece on the office of New York State District Attorney Eliot Spitzer by Forward staff writer Nathaniel Popper (“Probe of Shul Group Had N.Y. Crimebuster’s Office in Tangles,” December 9, 2005) was also given honorable mention.
And for his muckraking exposé about working conditions at the glatt kosher AgriProcessors slaughterhouse in Postville, Iowa (“In Iowa Meat Plant, Kosher ‘Jungle’ Breeds Fear, Injury, Short Pay,” May 26, 2006), Popper took home first prize for a story on labor issues. We salute our staff.
A message from our Publisher & CEO Rachel Fishman Feddersen
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism so that we can be prepared for whatever news 2025 brings.
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. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
