In 1993 The New York Times reported competition between Jewish Weekly newspapers citing that the Jewish Week reports 100,000 papers each week. Of the subscriptions 20,000 were paid, and 80,000 received their subscription after making a charity donation. This made the Jewish week ahead of The Long Island Jewish World which reported 26,000 subscriptions, and behind The Jewish Press which reported 125,000 subscriptions.[3] As of 2015 gaebler.com reports an approximate circulation of 36,000 papers.[2]
Awards[edit]
In 2000, Rosenblatt and the newspaper won the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism from the Journalism Center on Children & Families for the story "Stolen Innocence", an investigative report that uncovered allegations of decades of child abuse by a youth movement leader and high school principal, Baruch Lanner. The story was initially criticized for being "malicious gossip".[4] The revelations were seen as a "watershed in the way the Orthodox community addresses sexual abuse"[5] and led to Lanner's resignation and conviction.[6]
Controversies[edit]
Rabbi Steven Pruzansky compared the Jewish Week to Der Stürmer, a Nazi newspaper. He later apologized quoting that the newspaper is not Der Stürmer, however "lies are wantonly published and in which targets – especially Orthodox Rabbis, Orthodox Jews and the Holy Torah".[7][8][9]
