A world conference of Jewish journalists from the Jewish and general press will take place in Jerusalem January 11 – 14, 1976. The decision to hold this meeting was taken by the World Federation of Jewish Journalists in conjunction with the World Zionist Organization, the Foreign Ministry, the World Jewish Congress and the government tourist office.
At a meeting this weekend at Beth Sokolow, it was agreed that the conference would deal with such issues as the role of the Jewish press in the struggle for the Jewish continuity, the struggle against the anti-Semitism and the struggle for Jewish heritage, tradition and values, and the status of Jewish journalists.
The relationship between Israel and the diaspora will be the subject of a special session during the conference, it was decided. It was also proposed to hold a symposium on the Jewish press and its role in contemporary Jewish life at a special session to be held at the home of President Ephraim Katzir in Jerusalem.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
