''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'' is an independent, nonprofit community weekly newspaper serving the Jewish community of greater Los Angeles, published by TRIBE Media Corp. ''The Journal'' was established in 1985. As of 2010 it had a verified circulation of 60,000 and an estimated readership of 180,000; it is the largest Jewish weekly outside of New York City. TRIBE Media Corp. also produces the monthly ''TRIBE'' magazine, distributed in Santa Barbara, Malibu, Conejo, Simi and West San Fernando Valleys. Though independent incorporated, the paper was initially distributed in part by the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. The first issue appeared on February 28, 1986. The editor was Gene Lichtenstein, who served until 2000,〔Tom Tugend, ("The Lichtenstein Formula for a Jewish Paper" ), ''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', June 29, 2000.〕 and the first art director was Katherine Arion, a Romanian-born artist who came to the United States in 1981.〔Shelley Adler, ("Art Notes: The Artist Behind Our Cover" ), ''The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', June 25, 1998.〕 After becoming completely independent from the Jewish Federation in 2005, it went through difficulties and its circulation shrunk. Circulation has recovered to 50,000 since then, and the paper has undertaken new initiatives, including expanded internet offerings, live events, a branding and marketing division, JJ Branding, ''TRIBE'' magazine, launched in December 2009, and Jewish Insider. The Jewish Journal, like other news media, has continued to face financial pressures (cutting staff positions and salaries during 2009, though since it has resumed growth in both areas), but it strengthened its financial situation in May 2010, when it received commitments from a group of local Jewish philanthropists for additional funding intended to assure its continuing financial viability.〔James Rainey, ("On the Media: Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles adapts to changing media market: Niche journalism and an $800,000 donation make its future seem secure" ). ''Los Angeles Times'', May 12, 2010.〕 ''The Jewish Journal'' is recognized as the major Jewish paper in Los Angeles, which has the second-largest Jewish population in the United States. The ''Los Angeles Times'' called ''The Jewish Journal'' "an influential weekly."〔Bob Pool and Anne-Marie O'Connor, ("Jewish Centers' Financial Woes Anger Community" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', December 5, 2001.〕 It has received a number of awards from the Los Angeles Press Club over the years.〔See, e.g., (2009 Southern California Journalism Award Winners ) and (2005 Southern California Journalism Award Winners ) at Los Angeles Press Club (official website ) (accessed May 11, 2010).〕 The Jewish Journal's internet presence has increased its profile as a national and worldwide news source. In 2015, the Jewish Journal underwrote the first independent, non-partisan poll of American Jewish opinion regarding the Iran nuclear deal. The poll showed most American Jews favored the deal, and its results received worldwide coverage. In the wake of the Iran deal controversy, a White House press release called the Jewish Journal, “One of the most widely read Jewish publications online.” In 2015 Jewish Journal acquired Jewish Insider, a daily newsletter update based in Washington, D.C., and edited by Max Neuberger. Jewish Insider is delivered by e-mail to about 3,000 free subscribers five days each week, focusing on leaders in policy, diplomacy, journalism and Jewish life. Jewishjournal.com is ranked by Statcounter, Google Analytics, and Compete.com as having the most monthly unique users of any American Jewish news web site. The web site is notable for its many blogs covering all aspects of Jewish life, including A Jew, by Michael Berenbaum, Foodaism by Rob Eshman, HollywoodJew by Danielle Berrin and Keeping the Faith and Keeping It Real by Ilana Angel. As of May 2010 the site reported about 350,000 unique users per month.〔 Rob Eshman is the publisher and editor in chief, David Suissa the president, and Susan Freudenheim is the executive editor. Contributing columnists include Judea Pearl, Dennis Prager, Marty Kaplan, Gina Nahai, Bill Boyarsky, Teresa Strasser, Raphael Sonnenshein, and Jonathan Kirsch, who also serves as Book Editor. Shmuel Rosner is Senior Political Correspondent. In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, the issue of January 16–22, 2015 was renamed "Jewish Hebdo."〔Rob Eshman, (Nous Sommes Charlie: This week we are Jewish Hebdo ), ''Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles'', January 16–22, 2015〕 == See also == * History of the Jews in Los Angeles 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
