It was a fun, vibrant place to work, reflecting our spe- cial Detroit community. And if I sound a bit nostalgic, it’s because I am.

STEPHANIE STEINBERG: Intern The Jewish News was the first pub- lication I interned for (in 2008), and it was a great way to start my career in this industry. My editor, Keri Guten Cohen, taught me the importance of making sure stories are both relevant and inter- esting to your readers. (And also making sure to spell your sources’ names correctly!) Through my reporting, I also gained a better understanding of the Jewish community in Metro Detroit and how it has a positive impact on businesses, politics and social services in Southeast Michigan. Many of my stories focused on Jewish youth and what they were doing to make a differ- ence in the world. Nearly 10 years later, all the peo- ple I interviewed are still working to better the community, and I’m still telling their stories. More than anything, the Jewish News showed me how meaningful it can be to cover a community. Perhaps that’s why after working in Washington, D.C., and reporting for national publications for a few years, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to come home and tell the story of Detroit and the people revitalizing the city. Where she is now: Stephanie Steinberg is a features reporter at the Detroit News. JULIE WIENER: Staff Writer I was a staff writer from 1997 to 1999 and will always be grateful to the Jewish News for helping me launch my journal- ism career. I got great training and advice from my editors, especially Julie Edgar and Jonathan Friendly, who encouraged me to ask tough ques- tions, pursue investigative projects and develop a thick skin. I learned a ton about reporting and about orga- nized Jewish life. What I loved most about the Jewish News was that it had such a loyal read- ership and played such a central role in local Jewish life — whether they were happy with our coverage or not, people cared a lot about it! Not being a native Detroiter, I really enjoyed get- ting to know this community so well and becoming immersed in its poli- tics, history and ever-shifting geogra- phy. I left the Jewish News to move to New York, where I’ve worked for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, New York Jewish Week and other publications. Where she is now: Julie Wiener lives with her husband and two daughters in New York, where she is managing editor of My Jewish Learning (www.myjewishlearning. org), a website offering thousands of articles, videos and other resources to help navigate all aspects of Judaism and Jewish life — from food to history to beliefs and practices. ALEXANDRA ZASLOW: Intern As an intern for the Jewish News in the summer of 2009, I helped report and write features for the paper. One story I still think about to this day was on a program that gives chil- dren with autism the opportunity to bake challah every Shabbat. It was at the Jewish News that I first recog- nized my passion for human-interest stories. Eight years later, I’m still producing the same type of content for Katie Couric at Yahoo! News. Being able to support the Jewish community in my hometown and do what I love to do made my experi- ence at the Jewish News one I’ll never forget. Where she is now: Alexandra Zaslow of New York City is an asso- ciate producer for Katie Couric at Yahoo! News. • — Compiled by Contributing Writer Esther Allweiss Ingber.
