Dear Forward Reader:
Are “fake news” hoaxes worrying you as much as they are me?
Real journalism matters – now more than ever. That’s why I’m writing about your support for the Forward.
By donating today, you can raise your voice for values we’ve championed since 1897 – a passion for truth and a commitment to facts, backed by fearless reporting and restless curiosity.
In a post-Trump world, where reality itself is being questioned by web sites with murky agendas, the Forward’s journalists are doubling down on their dedication to bringing you news that matters through a Jewish lens. Your donation powers their work.
Your support also fuels the Forward’s smart opinion-writing, clear-eyed analysis, must-read culture coverage, and groundbreaking new initiatives like Scribe, our national contributors’ network.
As this surreal year draws to a close, think about the kind of news reporting you want to see in 2017. And thank you for giving generously to keep the Forward’s brand of award-winning, independent, thoughtful journalism strong.

Warm regards,
Samuel Norich President, Forward Association
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.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
