1 A Transformative Year

In July 2017, we introduced a new print magazine – a change that has allowed the Forward to publish more in-depth stories, presented with beautiful photographs and impressive layouts. The transformation from a weekly newspaper to a monthly magazine has given us the time that we haven’t had previously, to focus on our digital fi rst strategy. Our journalists are able to report on events in real time while still off ering comprehensive news stories, provocative opinion pieces, and insightful culture articles. We now have the capacity to reach a wider, younger audience, capturing the voices and attracting the attention of a new generation. With the success of the Forward’s digital transformation, we’re ensuring that Jews engage meaningfully with Jewish ideas, Jewish culture, and Jewish life 24/7.

Abraham Cahan Society Abraham Cahan was a visionary. From the moment he founded the Forward in 1897, he set out to change American journalism and earned a place in the pantheon of America’s greatest newspaper editors. His legacy of activism and hope for the Jewish future continues to inspire us today. In his honor, we have founded the Abraham Cahan Society.

“Giving is always gratifying,” says our President, Sam Norich. “But it’s even more meaningul when you’re helping to extend the life of a treasured community asset that’s been part of our families for generations—and is still making an impact today.”

We thank those who joined the Abraham Cahan Society by making a legacy gift to the Forward.
