Why we read The Forward as Identity
The Forward is a storied Jewish-American outlet covering the news through Jewish life, history, and debate. It sits in Identity as a Jewish-American standpoint; on Israel and antisemitism it often diverges sharply from the Palestinian and Arab outlets we also read, which is exactly the divergence this lens is built to show.

What to expect from The Forward
Jewish-community stakes centered, antisemitism tracked closely, and internal Jewish debate aired rather than flattened.
