Reporters’ Roundtable: On the Ground in Egypt; A Threat to Abortion Rights?
In this week Forward Reporters’ Roundtable, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with Forward contributor Eric Trager about the implications of the current uprising in Cairo. Trager was, until recently, doing research in the Egyptian capital. Josh also speaks with Sisterhood blog contributor Sarah Seltzer about new legislative threats to abortion rights and access. At the end of the podcast is a short interview with “Emily,” a graduate student who remains in Cairo, and who, for security reasons, did not want her last name used.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
