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.
