Dear Reader,
Today is World Press Freedom Day, a day to celebrate freedom of the press and journalistic integrity, and honor journalists who risk their lives in the service of truth.
This year, I’m observing World Press Freedom Day with tremendous gratitude and awareness for the way our journalists have covered stories like COVID, rising antisemitism, and the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the Jewish community and beyond, and other crucial issues that are helping our communities be safer and more informed. I trust my team at the Forward to be the absolute best in independent Jewish journalism, and that’s why I’m asking for your support today.
Whether we’re the only outlet you trust to address hesitance around the COVID-19 vaccine in certain communities or your go-to coverage for Jewish and Israel-related issues in the NYC mayoral race, the Forward is your source of ethical, values-driven news. Support independent Jewish journalism with a gift to the Forward. Donate today to show your support for fierce, thorough, independent reporting from a Jewish perspective. Today and every day we recognize the value of fiercely independent Jewish journalism. Join us by donating to the Forward today.
Sincerely, ![]() Rachel Fishman Feddersen The Forward |
