Dear Friend,

On behalf of the Board of Tribe Media Corp., I am proud to share with you that the Jewish Journal has just been named an 11-time finalist for the 58th Annual Southern California Journalism Awards hosted by the Los Angeles Press Club. The awards will be announced at a ceremony later this month.

This is a tremendous achievement for our small, highly dedicated staff, which works tirelessly to connect, inform and inspire, providing unique, top-notch news and insightful commentary on the most pressing issues for the Jewish community – locally, nationally and internationally.

For these prestigious awards, we compete directly against all the other top news organizations locally, including the Los Angeles Times, and our showing spotlights our journalistic excellence. 

It's also important to note this comes at a cost. And someone who benefits from the Journal, you can be a part of making it happen. Just like your local public radio and television station, The Journal, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, relies on the generous support of readers like you to provide the reporting worthy of these Press Club honors. 

That is why I am asking you to honor the hardworking editors, reporters, and staff of the Jewish Journal by making a contribution today

Of special note: The Jewish Journal has been singled out for the design of its powerful “Jewish Hebdo” edition, published in January 2015 following the Paris terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo and a Kosher supermarket.

The other Jewish Journal finalists include:

– Senior Writer Jared Sichel for Print Journalist of the Year;

– Publisher and Editor-in-Chief Rob Eshman in the “Commentary” and “Columnist” categories;

– TRIBE Media Corp. President David Suissa in the “Columnist” category;

– Bi-weekly columnist Marty Kaplan in the “Commentary” and “Columnist” categories;

– Arts and Entertainment Editor Naomi Pfefferman in the “Entertainment News or Features” category for her chilling article on the film “Son of Saul;”

– Contributing writer Julie Gruenbaum Fax in the “Investigative/Series” category for her sensitive, multi-part story on transgender Jews, the first of its kind in the world of Jewish press;

– Political columnist Raphael Sonenshein in the “Commentary” category;

– Contributing writer Tom Teicholz in the “Entertainment Journalist” category. 

As the Journal celebrates its 30th anniversary, I want to encourage you to contribute.

Now more than ever, let's applaud the tradition of quality, independent Jewish journalism whose reach across our community and beyond is simply unparalleled. Please join me in supporting the Jewish Journal today.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Peter Lowy
Board Chair, Tribe Media Corp.
