Seal Leaves JTA
For Job At HIAS
New York (JTA) — After
,erving 11 years with the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
Mark Seal is stepping down
from his position of ex-
ecutive vice president to
become chief operating offi-
cer at the Hebrew Immi-
grant Aid Society.
Mr. Seal joined JTA as
business manager in Oc-
tober 1982 and became the
agency director one year
later. In addition to oversee-
ing the agency's finances
and personnel, he has been
responsible for maintaining
JTA's relations with the
Jewish organizational
world, Jewish newspapers
throughout the country and
abroad, and JTA's own
board of directors.
He has also worked with
JTA Editor Mark Joffe to
redefine the agency's edito-
rial direction.
He said the agency's edito-
rial product has also chang-
ed greatly. "We used to put
out one Daily Bulletin that
was produced on a
typewriter, which had to
serve all of JTA's consti-
tuencies. We couldn't tailor
our product to meet the spe-
cial needs of our member
publications."
JTA's editorial focus, he
said, used to be on coverage
of events, "but it is now on
issues, trends and develop-
ments."
He also noted how JTA has
integrated all the latest
technologies for receiving,
editing and disseminating
.
In Loving Memory of
stories for its readers.
Reflecting on all the pro-
gress that has been made
since he first arrived, Mr.
Seal gave credit to JTA's
board of directors, "who
have been supportive and
encouraging throughout."
Mr. Seal said that JTA in
recent years has undergone
a period of cutbacks caused
by the recession and by the
need of Jewish community
federations to direct major
portions of their funds to
cover the mass emigration of
Jews from the former Soviet
Union and Ethiopia.
Mr. Seal described the
changes in the American
Jewish press over the past
decade in similar terms to
those he used for JTA itself.
"They have journalists who
are now better trained.
There's better writing,
better editing and better
graphics."
During his tenure, Mr.
Seal has also seen a greater
willingness on the part of
Jewish institutions to open
themselves up to scrutiny.
He will be the associate
executive vice president at
HIAS, reporting to Ex-
ecutive Vice President Mar-
tin Wenick.
"HIAS is an institution
I've long admired," said Mr.
Seal. "While I'm sorry to
leave JTA, I look forward to
joining the HIAS staff,
where I'm eager to help de-
velop the agency's policies
and future direction."
