The Jewish Telegraphic Agency’s summer intern program, begun in 1970, is now in its ninth year. Continuation of the program, which provides on-the-job training for young people interested in Jewish journalism, was made possible by a special grant by Dr. Abraham Goodman, of Kearny, N.J., a prominent Jewish philanthropist and community leader. Goodman is president of the Tarbut Foundation and treasurer of the JTA.
This year’s intern, who is working at JTA international headquarters in New York, is Judith Mr. Rosen, a 24-year-old doctoral student at Columbia University’s political science department. She is also studying for a certificate at the university’s Russian Institute. Ms. Rosen received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the Institute for Sino-Soviet Studies at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. A native of New York, she has worked with Soviet dissidents and artists in Washington.
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.
