The Jewish Telegraphic Agency received messages from President Carter in Washington and from Premier Menachem Begin in Jerusalem praising the JTA for its role since it was founded in 1917. Carter, in his message, stated:
“For sixty years, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has served readers with detailed and accurate news reports on matters of concern to Jewish communities. In this 60th anniversary year of the founding of JTA, I extend my congratulations to you for the Agency’s two generations of service to the Public. May you continue to serve in the same high journalistic tradition for generations to come.”
JTA has documented Jewish history in real-time for over a century. Keep our journalism strong by joining us in supporting independent, award-winning reporting.
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.
