The Jewish Chronicle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jewish Chronicle (affectionately known as "The JC" and also as "The Jewish Chronic") is a national British Jewish newspaper. Founded in 1841, it is the oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the world. It appears every Friday providing news, views, social, cultural and sports reports, as well as editorials and a spectrum of readers' opinions on the letter page. The JC also sponsors the Jewish Sunday league system in London, known as the Maccabi Football League.
It is independent and is owned by the Kessler Foundation, a charitable trust which has overall control of the newspaper and its assets.
During the 1970s, its circulation was over 50,000. Today, it is less than 35,000, a decline which can be attributed to the gradually-shrinking Anglo-Jewish community and the preference of younger readers for free online news sources.
