From ‘Balance’ to Censorship: Bush’s Cynical Plan for NPR
A recent opinion essay in Forward Forum (“From ‘Balance’ to Censorship: Bush’s Cynical Plan for NPR,” May 27) was construed by some readers to imply incorrectly that Camera, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America, had called for readers of the Los Angeles Times to cancel their subscriptions. In fact, Camera never called for cancellation of Los Angeles Times subscriptions and our article was not intended to imply that. We regret any misunderstanding.
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.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
