Story: “How Jewish Media Excludes Jewish Voices”
Category: Longread
Date: March 27
Clarification and corrections: “This article originally stated that ‘there are more Jewish people in Jewish Voice for Peace…than in the entire city of Toronto.’ We’ve clarified that the sentence refers to the group’s ‘online supporters,’ not all of whom are necessarily Jewish.

In fact, while he indicated that they’re generally unwelcome due to incompatible values, there is no blanket prohibition. Further, this article stated that the CJN is one of ‘just three’ Canadian Jewish newspapers that still publish in print. But while the CJN remains the only national English-language paper, there are in fact more than two local publications.”
