The Jewish Press ─ A Gevalt from the Torah True: An Examination of the Concepts Holocaust and Israel in the American Jewish Newspaper The Jewish Press

From its beginning in Europe during the 18th century, says Lindeberg, Jewish journalism was concerned with promulgating ideas rather than with making money. In that context, she examines the American Jewish newspaper The Jewish Press from its first appearance in 1960 to 2000, one of the most sold papers representing Jewish Orthodoxy. She looks at the extensive influence of the Holocaust and anti-Semitism on the paper and the paper's interpretation of it, and at the paper's relationship with and perception of Israel, which early on became the subject most discussed and the one given the most central column space.
