First time the NYTimes has done anything interesting in a long time.
"The #NewYorkTimes has hired #Atlantic staff #writer #YairRosenberg to launch a national beat covering #Jewish #American life, bringing a widely known #journalist on #antisemitism and Jewish affairs to a #newspaper whose coverage of Israel and the Jewish community has been under unusually intense scrutiny since the #Oct7, 2023, #Hamas attack.
The appointment, announced Monday by National #Editor #NestorRamos, creates a dedicated beat focused on #AmericanJews at a moment when questions of antisemitism, #Israel, religious identity and political polarization have moved to the center of public debate.
It is the first time that the #newspaper, published in the city with the world’s largest Jewish population, has a beat dedicated to #Jews."
