In this week’s Reporters Roundtable podcast, host Josh Nathan-Kazis is joined by Forward staff writer Paul Berger to discuss a lawsuit filed this week by former students of Yeshiva University who allege a long history of sex abuse. Then, Anne Cohen drops by to discuss how different pop stars are dealing with calls to boycott Israel. Finally Doni Bloomfield gives his take on the new zombie movie ‘World War Z’ and its depiction of Israel.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
