t’
s a question I’
m frequently asked
in our current era of digital media
expansion and print media con-
traction. The answer may surprise
you. Today, thanks to
our print and digital
platforms, Jewish News
content is seen by more
people than at any point
in our 77-year history.
For loyal readers of
our weekly print edition,
the Jewish News contin-
ues to provide unique,
quality content. That quality was recently
recognized by the Society of Professional
Journalists Detroit Chapter when JN staff
outperformed every publication in its
class for reporting, writing and design.
For those more attuned to getting
their news and information online, the
Jewish News website, thejewishnews.
com, has become increasingly popular.
In fact, traffic has doubled over the past
six months to almost 100,000 unique
monthly visitors.
That’
s why effective June 3, we are
introducing a significantly enhanced,
easier to use thejewishnews.com. In
addition to award-winning content
from the Jewish News, the website will
have more breaking stories, more video
content and its own dedicated web-first
news gathering team headed by Digital
Editor Allison Jacobs. Visit us often!
Quite simply, your weekly Jewish News
and the expanded thejewishnews.com
will provide you with a powerful combi-
nation of independent, trusted Detroit-
oriented content.
We welcome your feedback and sug-
gestions. Please contact me at ahorwitz@
thejewishnews.com or Allison Jacobs at
ajacobs@renmedia.us. We look forward
to continuing to serve you, in print and
digitally, as we capture and tell our com-
munity’
s story … and yours.
