Jane Eisner Talks to The Marker
Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner discusses the paper’s coverage of political and socio-economic events in Israel, and about the future of journalism in the digital age in a video interview with The Marker, a Tel-Aviv-based economic news outlet that is distributed as a supplement of Haaretz.
The interview touches on important issues in Israeli society, including the conflict with the Palestinians, the financial crisis, and how the Jewish state is perceived in the U.S. and Europe.
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
