Reporters’ Roundtable: The Fogel Photos
Host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with editor Jane Eisner about the murder of five family members in the West Bank settlement of Itamar, the government’s release of the brutal crime scene photographs and the Forward’s decision not to publish those photos. Then Josh is joined Mary Jane Fine, who reported for the Forward from the Mets spring training site in Florida. She discusses what Mets fans have to say about the allegations that the team’s owners were major beneficiaries of Bernard Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. Then staff writer Gal Beckerman joins the conversation to tell us about a shortage of kosher baby formula in and around Brooklyn.

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.
, editor-in-chiefSupport our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
