Independent Journalism in an Era of Polarization 5.17.2024

Описание: As the world’s eyes follow the Israel-Hamas war, the recent Iran attack, and the repercussions on American campuses and beyond, the need for rigorous reporting and respected journalism has never been more essential. The Forward is the nation's most widely read Jewish news outlet, a fiercely independent and non-ideological source for news, culture, and opinion across the political spectrum.

Jodi Rudoren became editor-in-chief of the Forward in 2019 after more than two decades at The New York Times, including a stint as Jerusalem bureau chief. Having personally covered two prior Israel-Hamas wars, in 2012 and 2014, Rudoren has been a leading commentator since Oct. 7, appearing on CNN and MSNBC and speaking at numerous college campuses, synagogues, and more.
