New Editor at The Forward
May 13th, 2008
Jane R. Eisner was nominated on Monday to become the editor of The Forward, the Jewish newsweekly. An official announcement is expected to come Sunday. Ms. Eisner will be coming to The Forward from a 25 year stint at The Philadelphia Inquirer, where she worked her way up from reporter to editorial page editor and syndicated columnist. The Forward has been published in Yiddish for over a century. The English version started in 1990. Ms. Eisner will be the first woman to edit either version. NYT (May 13, 2008)
