Two writers for the Forward have been named finalists for the 2017 Deadline Club Awards.

Simi Horwitz is a finalist in the category of Reporting by a Newspaper with Circulation Under 100,000 for her three-part series on Hasidic women. The first item of that series focused on the women helming Orthodox newspapers, the next on Orthodox cinema’s woman-led revolution, and the last on the increasing prominence of Orthodox woman singers.

Allan M. Jalon is a finalist in the category of Arts Reporting for his article “Paul Newman’s Lost Masterpiece — And How We Rediscovered It.”

The Deadline Club is the New York City Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists. Their annual awards honor print, broadcast, and digital journalism created in New York City. Winners of this year’s awards will be announced at a dinner on May 22.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
