Editor’s note
Why this page has been removed from our website
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
Editor’s note: This page has been removed from our website because it did not meet our editorial standards. Published on June 7, 2023, it was an illustrated guide to the Jewish nominees for Tony Awards, combining drawings and descriptions of the nominees, and some quotations from them.
We discovered after publication that virtually all of the descriptions and quotations had previously appeared in other places. The original, uncredited sources include Wikipedia; The Guardian; The Jewish Standard; Hey Alma; a previously published article in the Forward; NPR; and Playbill.
Following journalistic best practices, the Forward has a policy not to remove pages from our website. But we made an exception in this case because the nature of the piece and the volume of the uncredited material made it impossible to properly correct the record with integrity. We regret having published it.
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.
