Help Get The Forward To South By Southwest

Send the Forward to SXSW.

By Forward Staff August 22, 2018

The Forward is nationwide, but it has been underrepresented in one particular area — the South By Southwest! You can help us change that.

The Forward has had its finger on the Jewish pulse for over 120 years and has been part of the digital media landscape for nearly a decade. In the past three years, our ambitious new digital strategy has allowed us to reach a wider, younger audience while still offering the insight for which we are famed. Whether investigative news stories, provocative opinion pieces or insightful culture articles, we have successfully gone from being the weekly Forward to once again become the Jewish Daily Forward.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I wanted to ask you to support the Forward’s award-winning journalism during our High Holiday Monthly Donor Drive.

This year, we have stood together in strength and sorrow. Our Forward team has worked around the clock to help you find clarity amid the chaos.

If you’ve turned to the Forward in the past 12 months to better understand the world around you, we hope you will support us with a gift now. Your support has a direct impact, giving us the resources we need to report from Israel and around the U.S., across college campuses, and wherever there is news of importance to American Jews.

Make a monthly or one-time gift and support Jewish journalism throughout 5785. The first six months of your monthly gift will be matched for twice the investment in independent Jewish journalism.
