It’s been a good week for the Forward. The paper was recognized last Friday by the Independent Press Association of New York when two staff members received Ippie awards.
Editor J.J. Goldberg won third place in the best editorial category for “Blind Justice,” and staff writer Rebecca Spence won third place in the best labor story category for “Labor Woes Hit Memorial to East Side Wage Slaves.”
The Forward’s Web team was also honored this week: Forward.com won the Silver Medal in the 2007 International Davey Awards.
The Forward welcomes reader comments in order to promote thoughtful discussion on issues of importance to the Jewish community. In the interest of maintaining a civil forum, the Forward requires that all commenters be appropriately respectful toward our writers, other commenters and the subjects of the articles. Vigorous debate and reasoned critique are welcome; name-calling and personal invective are not. While we generally do not seek to edit or actively moderate comments, the Forward reserves the right to remove comments for any reason.
