Forward Jewish. Independent. Nonprofit.

About

The Forward is America’s leading voice in Jewish journalism, delivering incisive coverage of the issues, ideas and institutions that matter to American Jews.
The Forward’s independent, non-ideological perspective on world and national news, and its unparalleled coverage of Jewish arts, culture and opinion, have made it the most influential and widely read nationwide Jewish publication today, and it has been honored with the most journalism awards of any Jewish media organization.
The Forward reaches more than 100 million viewers annually across its website, social media, email newsletters, events and podcasts. The Forward’s free newsletters include Forwarding the News, a definitive morning briefing; Antisemitism Decoded, a biweekly guide to understanding Jewish safety and how the debates around it are reshaping American Jewish life; and others highlighting our journalists’ take on the news, and a weekly roundup in English of what’s happening in the Yiddish world.
Leading outlets turn to the Forward’s journalists for analysis and interviews, including the New York Times, CNN, Fox, NPR, Politico, Haaretz and The Washington Post. The Forward has been archived by the U.S. Library of Congress and named one of the top nonprofit news sites by Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab.
