Rachel Fishman Feddersen and Jodi Rudoren

By Forward Staff January 10, 2020

Join Jodi Rudoren, editor-in-chief of The Forward, and Rachel Fishman Feddersen, CEO and publisher, for breakfast and a conversation about the future of Jewish journalism, the Los Angeles Jewish community, and how the two can best connect.

Rachel Fishman Feddersen and Jodi Rudoren

Jodi, a former LA Times journalist, and Rachel will host the gathering at Temple Emanuel Beverly Hills on January 27 at 8:30 a.m. (kosher breakfast will be provided). While in LA, they’re eager to meet local Jewish leaders and share their vision for revamping The Forward to make it more relevant to national audiences. Rachel hired Jodi this summer to lead a digital transformation of the American Jewish world’s leading publication. Building on The Forward’s legacy of independent, in-depth reporting on politics and culture, and provocative opinion writing from across all spectrums, Jodi is aiming to deepen reader engagement; nationalize the report and audience; and create a dynamic platform for conversation.

She is hoping to hear from you about the problems, gaps and opportunities you see in the Jewish journalism landscape, and the most interesting things happening in Jewish LA.

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.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. Support our work by becoming a Forward Member and connect with our journalism and your community.
