Now on Sunday, Too
Writer-at-Large Jane Eisner November 11, 2011
Back in June, The Forward returned to its roots as a daily publication, this time through cyberspace. We began to offer the kind of fresh, new content that used to come with the morning paper: news stories and analyses, arts and feature reporting, opinion columns, breaking news headlines and the breadth of stuff contained in our many blogs.
Our promise to readers was to deliver this content every weekday morning, and update the site through the day. As a small operation with limited resources, we knew that we could keep that promise, and we weren’t sure we could do more.
But we are now.
Starting today, we are updating our site on Sundays, as well. The tens of thousands of people who receive our daily newsletter, The Forward Today, will now get it on Sunday, too.
Saturday, our Sabbath, you’re on your own. Our commitment to our weekly print edition remains as strong as ever. But starting today, you can count on The Forward to provide you timely, excellent journalism you’ve come to expect, 24/6. Promise.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
That’s why I’m paying it Forward, by matching $36,000 of reader gifts. It’s an investment in the Forward’s newsroom, to continue telling the American Jewish story with truth and independence.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
