Forward.com Gets Its First Online Journalism Award Nomination

By Bintel Blog September 1, 2009

The Forward ‘s Web site this week scored its first Online Journalism Award nomination. The awards are given out annually at the conference of the Online News Association, which, this year, takes place October 1–3 in San Francisco. Among our fellow nominees in the “Specialty Site Journalism, Small Site” category is PolitiFact.com, a 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner.

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 during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
