History
The Jerusalem Report was established in 1990 by South African-born Israeli journalist Hirsh Goodman, who served as its editor-in-chief and publisher for eight years.[1] David Horovitz took over as editor-in-chief from 1998 to 2004, Sharon Ashley from 2004 to 2006,[2] and Eetta Prince-Gibson from 2006 to 2011. They were followed by Matthew Kalman (January to May 2012), Avi Hoffmann (June to November 2012) and Ilan Evyatar (December 2012 to May 2017).[3] Steve Linde, former editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post, was appointed editor in June 2017.[4]
In 1996, The Jerusalem Report editors and staff published a biography of assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, titled Shalom, Friend.[5]
In 1999, The Jerusalem Report correspondent Micha Odenheimer won the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee's Boris Smolar Award for his cover story titled "The Abandoned Jews of Quara," which led to the airlift of Jews from Ethiopia to Israel.[6]
In 2000, American journalist Jeffrey Goldberg referred to The Jerusalem Report as "the best periodical published in Israel, in English or Hebrew. The Jerusalem Report is a beacon of professionalism and sobriety in a press culture that sometimes resembles the National Hockey League."[7]
In 2004, The Jerusalem Report won the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee's Boris Smolar Award for its coverage of the Jewish World.[5]
In April 2018, senior writer Amotz Asa-El's five-part series on the future of the Jewish people won the B'nai B'rith World Center Award for Journalism Recognizing Excellence in Diaspora Reportage.[8] In July 2018, The Jerusalem Report sparked a media furor after it dismissed its longtime illustrator, Avi Katz, over a cartoon portraying a selfie of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and lawmakers from his Likud party with pigs' heads, celebrating the passage of the Jewish Nation-State Law in the Knesset, under the title, "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others." The cartoon, a reference to George Orwell’s Animal Farm, was deemed offensive by the magazine's management.[9] Katz was rehired by the magazine in September 2023.
In July 2023, senior writer Maayan Hoffman won two American Jewish Press Association Rockower Awards for articles she wrote in The Jerusalem Report.[10]
