From the first English-language papers of the 1890s to the dynamic Yiddish press of the 1930s, and from post-war rebuilding to today’s digital era, the Jewish press has served as our mirror, our memory, and our voice. The conversation draws on Yossi’s deep insight as a journalist, historian, and one of the most respected commentators on Australian Jewish communal life. He shares how the press has both chronicled and shaped the identity, debates, and evolution of Australian Jewry. A concise, rich look at the legacy and lasting impact of Jewish journalism and the generations it continues to connect.
