Reporters’ Roundtable: A Fatah-Hamas Government; Erasing Maine’s Labor History
This week on the Reporters’ Roundtable, host Josh Nathan-Kazis speaks with Forward editor Jane Eisner about the future of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process and the U.S. role therein, following an announcement that Fatah and Hamas would form a national-unity government. Josh is also joined by contributing writer Maia Efrem to discuss the decision by Maine governor Paul LePage to remove a public mural depicting labor leaders, including Rose Schneiderman. Lastly (and on a much lighter note), Josh explains the curious Passover candy known as “Space Ducks.”

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.
