In the 21st centuryThe Forwardis a digital publication withonline reporting.In 2016, the publication of the Yiddish version changed its print format from a biweekly newspaper to a monthly magazine;[4]the English weekly paper followed suit in 2017. Those magazines were published until 2019.[5]
The Forward's perspective on world and national news and its reporting on the centrist Jewish perspective on modern United States have made it one of the most influential American Jewish publications. It is published by an independent nonprofit association.
The YiddishForward(Forverts) is a clearinghouse for the latest developments in the Yiddish world with almost daily news reports related to Yiddish language and culture as well as videos of cooking demonstrations, Yiddish humor and new songs. A Yiddish rendition of theLeonard Cohensong "Hallelujah",translated and performed by klezmer musicianDaniel Kahn,garnered over a million views.
On January 17, 2019, the publication announced it would discontinue its print edition and only publish its English and Yiddish editions online. Layoffs of its editor-in-chief and 20% of its editorial staff were also announced.[5]
Jodi Rudorenwas named editor in July 2019, and took charge in September 2019.[6]
The Forward's contributors include journalistsAbigail Pogrebin,[7]Debra Nussbaum Cohen,[8]Sam Kestenbaum, andIlene Prushner;[9]opinion columnistDeborah Lipstadt;[10]art criticsAnya Ulinich[11]andJackson Arn;[12]and cartoonistLiana Finck.[13][14]
History
editOrigins
editThe first issue ofForvertsappeared on April 22, 1897, in New York City.[15]The paper was founded by a group of about 50Yiddish-speakingsocialistswho had organized three months earlier as the Forward Publishing Association.[15]The paper's name, as well as its political orientation, was borrowed from theGerman Social Democratic Partyand its organVorwärts.
Forvertswas a successor to New York's first Yiddish-language socialist newspaper,Di Arbeter Tsaytung(The Workman's Paper), a weekly established in 1890 by the fledgling Jewish trade union movement centered in theUnited Hebrew Trades,as a vehicle for bringing socialist and trade unionist ideas to Yiddish-speaking immigrants, primarily from eastern Europe.[16][17]This paper had been merged into a new Yiddish daily calledDos Abend Blatt(The Evening Paper) as its weekend supplement when that publication was launched in 1894 under the auspices of the Socialist Labor Party (SLP).[16]As this publication established itself, it came under increased political pressure from the de facto head of the SLP,Daniel De Leon,who attempted to maintain a rigid ideological line with respect to its content.[18]It was this centralizing political pressure which had been the motivating factor for a new publication.
Chief among the dissident socialists of the Forward Publishing Association wereLouis MillerandAbraham Cahan.These two founding fathers ofThe Forwardwere quick to enlist in the ranks of a new rival socialist political party founded in 1897, theSocial Democratic Party of America,founded by the nationally famous leader of the 1894American Railway Unionstrike,Eugene V. Debs,andVictor L. Berger,a German-speaking teacher and newspaper publisher fromMilwaukee.Both joined the SDP in July 1897.[19]
Despite this political similarity, Miller and Cahan differed as to the political orientation of the paper and Cahan left after just four months to join the staff ofThe Commercial Advertiser,a well-establishedRepublicannewspaper also based in New York City.[20]
First fifty years
editFor the next four years, until 1901, Cahan remained outside ofThe Forwardoffice, learning the newspaper trade in a financially successful setting. He only returned, he later recalled in his memoir, upon the promise of "absolute full power" over the editorial desk.[21]
The circulation of the paper, which was described as "one of the first national newspapers,"[22]grew quickly, paralleling the rapid growth of the Yiddish speaking population of the United States. By 1912 its circulation was 120,000,[23]and by the late 1920s/early 1930s,The Forwardwas a leading U.S. metropolitan daily with considerable influence and a nationwide circulation of more than 275,000[23][24]though this had dropped to 170,000 by 1939 as a result of changes in U.S. immigration policy that restricted the immigration of Jews to a trickle.[23]
Early on,The Forwarddefended trade unionism and moderate, democratic socialism. The paper was a significant participant in the activities of theInternational Ladies' Garment Workers' Union;Benjamin Schlesinger,a former president of the ILGWU, became the general manager of the paper in 1923, then returned to the presidency of the union in 1928. The paper was also an early supporter ofDavid Dubinsky,Schlesinger's eventual successor.
In 1933–34,The Forwardwas the first to publishFred Beal's eyewitness reports of bureaucratic privilege and of famine in the Soviet Union,[25]accounts of the kind that much of the liberal and left-wing press disparaged and resisted.[26]His story corroborated that of the paper's labor editor, Harry Lang, who had visited Soviet Ukraine.[27]
In response to the first reports of atrocities against the Jewish population ofGerman-occupied Poland,special correspondent A. Brodie complained of exaggerated dispatches and lack of facts. But as accounts accumulated in the winter of 1939-40 of mass arrests, forced labor, massacres, executions and expulsions, the paper discerned the outline of the unfoldingHolocaust.[28]
The best-known writer in theYiddish ForwardwasIsaac Bashevis Singer,who received theNobel Prize in Literature.Other well known contributors includedLeon Trotsky,S.L. Shneiderman,andMorris Winchevsky.
In 1953,The Forwardtook the position thatJulius and Ethel Rosenbergwere guilty but held that the death sentence was too harsh a punishment.[29][undue weight?–discuss]
After World War II
editBy 1962, circulation was down to 56,126 daily and 59,636 Sunday,[30]and by 1983 the newspaper was published only once a week, with an English supplement.[24]In 1990, the English supplement became an independent weekly[31]which by 2000 had a circulation of 26,183, while the Yiddish weekly had a circulation of 7,000 and falling.[32]
As the influence of the Socialist Party in both American politics and in the Jewish community waned, the paper joined the American liberal mainstream though it maintained asocial democraticorientation. The English version has some standing in the Jewish community as an outlet of liberal policy analysis. For a period in the 1990s, conservatives came to the fore of the English edition of the paper, but the break from tradition did not last. (A number of conservatives dismissed fromThe Forwardlater helped to found the modernNew York Sun.)
The Yiddish edition has recently enjoyed a modest increase in circulation as courses in the language have become more popular among university students; circulation has leveled out at about 5,500.Boris Sandler,one of the most significant contemporary secular writers in Yiddish, was the editor of the YiddishForwardfor 18 years, until March 2016; the new editor who succeeded him isRukhl Schaechter.[33][34]
From 2013 to 2017, prior to the current format as a monthly magazine,The Forwardwas published as a newspaper in separate English weekly and Yiddish biweekly editions, and online daily. Each was effectively an independent publication with its own contents. Jane Eisner became the first female editor in chief of the EnglishForwardin June 2008.[35][36]The previous editor in chief wasJ. J. Goldberg,who served from 2000 to 2007; since that time he has been editor at large.[37]The paper maintains a left of center editorial stance.[36]
In August 2015,The Forwardreceived wide attention for reporting from Iran[38]at a charged moment in American politics, as the U.S. Congress was ramping up to a vote on an accord reached the month before to limit Tehran's nuclear ability in return for lifting international oil and financial sanctions. Assistant Managing EditorLarry Cohler-Esseswas, in the words ofThe New York Times,"The first journalist from an American Jewish pro-Israel publication to be given an Iranian visa since 1979."[39]
For a few years, there was also a Russian edition. The website ofThe Forwarddescribes its formation: "In the fall of 1995 a Russian-language edition of the Forward was launched, under the editorship ofVladimir "Velvl" Yedidowich.The decision to launch a Russian Forward in the crowded market of Russian-language journalism in New York followed approaches to the Forward Association by a number of intellectual leaders in the fast-growing émigré community who expressed an interest in adding a voice that was strongly Jewish, yet with a secular, social-democratic orientation and an appreciation for the cultural dimension of Jewish life. "[citation needed]
The Russian edition was sold toRAJI(Russian American Jews for Israel) in 2004, although initially it kept the name.[40]In contrast to its English counterpart, the Russian edition and its readership were more sympathetic to right-wing voices. In March 2007, it was renamed theForum.[citation needed]
Around the same time in 2004, the Forward Association also sold off its interest inWEVDtoThe Walt Disney Company's sports division,ESPN.
The name of the publication was shortened toThe Forwardin April 2015.[2]
As of July 2016,The Forwardbegan publishing a monthly magazine. The last newspaper published was the June 30, 2016, issue.[41]

Alana Newhouse, who authored whatThe New York Timescalled "a coffee-table book" (A Living Lens: Photographs of Jewish Life From the Pages of The Forward), was the paper's arts and culture editor.[44]
The New York Timesdescribed the paper's "A Bintel Brief"feature as" homespun advice... which predatedDear Abby."[44]
Notable interviews

At the peak of its circulation,The Forwarderected a ten-story office building at 175East Broadwayon theLower East Side,designed by architect George Boehm and completed in 1912. It was a prime location, across the street fromSeward Park.The building was embellished with marble columns and panels and stained glass windows. The facade features carvedbas reliefportraits ofKarl Marx,Friedrich Engels[72](who co-authored, with Marx,The Communist Manifesto), andFerdinand Lassalle,founder of the first mass German labor party. A fourth relief portrays a person whose identity has not been clearly established, and has been identified asWilhelm Liebknecht,[73]Karl Liebknecht,[74]orAugust Bebel.[75][76]The paper moved out in 1974, and in the real-estate boom of the 1990s the building was converted to condominiums.[23][77]The Forward,which in 2007 was headquartered at East 33rd Street,[44]is in theFinancial Districtas of 2020[update].[78]
Lists
editThe "Forward 50" is a list of 50 Jewish Americans "who have made a significant impact on the Jewish story in the past year", published annually as an editorial opinion ofThe Forwardsince 1994. The list was the initiative ofSeth Lipsky,founding editor of the EnglishForward.[79]
According to the magazine's website, this is not a scientific study, but rather the opinion of staff members, assisted by nominations from readers.The Forwarddoes not endorse or support any of the people in the listing. The rankings are divided into different categories (which may vary from year to year): Top Picks, Politics, Activism, Religion, Community, Culture, Philanthropy, Scandals, Sports and, as of 2010, Food.[79]
The list also includes those Jews whose impact in the past year has been dramatic and damaging.[79]
In 2021,The Forwardpublished the "Forward Shortlist" instead, which named seven people.[80]In celebration of the magazine's 125th anniversary in 2022, the "Forward 125" was introduced, a list of the 125 most influential American Jews from 1897 to 2022.[81]
In 2022,The Forwardpublished its list of "The 125 greatest Jewish movie scenes of all time."[82]
The Forwardin English
editThe Forwardbegan publishing in English in the 1980s, and a 2019 review observed that both Yiddish and English were being produced for its online edition.[83]
Funding for the English edition became available whenThe Forwardsold its FM radio station.[84]
While the idea was said to have germinated in 1983, when the Yiddish-only paper "announced that it was going to retreat to weekly publication,"[84]and the actualization of an English edition as an ongoing paper in 1990,[3]by 2010Seth Lipskywas described as "formerly editor of the English-language edition."[85]
