Jane Eisner Talks to The Marker

By Yermi Brenner July 2, 2013

Forward editor-in-chief Jane Eisner discusses the paper’s coverage of political and socio-economic events in Israel, and about the future of journalism in the digital age in a video interview with The Marker, a Tel-Aviv-based economic news outlet that is distributed as a supplement of Haaretz.

The interview touches on important issues in Israeli society, including the conflict with the Palestinians, the financial crisis, and how the Jewish state is perceived in the U.S. and Europe.
