The Jewish Week is a weekly newspaper serving the Jewish community of the metropolitan New York City area.[3] The Jewish Week covers news relating to the Jewish community in NYC. It has been said by prominent rabbi Steven Pruzansky that "lies are wantonly published" in the paper.[4] The vast majority of its subscriptions are unsolicited subscriptions given to people who make a charity donation to UJA.[2]
Editorial staff
Gary Rosenblatt has been the editor and publisher since 1993.[5]
Distribution
In 1993 The New York Times reported competition between Jewish Weekly newspapers citing that the Jewish Week reports 100,000 papers each week. Of the subscriptions 20,000 were paid, and 80,000 received their subscription after making a charity donation. This made the Jewish week behind The Jewish Press (which reported 125,000 subscriptions), Hamodia, and the Yated.[5] As of 2015 gaebler.com reports an approximate circulation of 36,000 papers.[2]
Awards
In 2000, Rosenblatt and the newspaper won the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism from the Journalism Center on Children & Families for the story "Stolen Innocence", an investigative report that uncovered allegations of decades of child abuse by a youth movement leader and high school principal, Baruch Lanner. The story was criticized for being "malicious gossip".[3]
