The Forward took home three awards for multimedia as well as honors for best overall print design Thursday night in the Ippies contest sponsored by the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
The annual Ippies competition pays tribute to excellence in journalism in the ethnic and community press in the New York City area.
Nate Lavey, the Forward’s digital media producer, won both first- and second-place honors in the best video category.
He won the top video prize for “Living Apart in Crown Heights,” in which he combined contemporary images and interviews and historical photos to tell the story of the racial tensions that led to the riots and how the neighborhood is faring today.
He won a second-place video award for “Naming Mushky,” the story of thousands of girls in the worldwide Lubavitch Hasidic community who were named after Chaya Mushka Schneerson, the late wife of the Lubavitcher rebbe.
which ones hart and which one is star
Chaya Mushka that is on the left,i go to bnos menochem
in the first video the point trying to be brought out with the cop car that Jews get special treatment etc
what its really there for is all the terrorist threats
The Jewish community is not the one doing the crime – that is why we need extra police protection – since we are most of the time victimized.
while the second video is nicely portrayed, the first one portrays us as the bad ones these days.
the blacks have always had a chip on their shoulder about white/jews getting preferential treatment, however we are not the ones carrying the guns and mugging people in this community…keep that in mind
The forward got Sholom rubashkin in jail!
go mora edelman!!! 🙂
<3 g8er
The Rebbe never asked to have babies named for the Rebetzin, but he was very happy to hear that so many girls were named after the Rebbetzin.
go Muky!!!
miss you in sydney
Just remember that the Forward is usually anti Frum and is one of the main media outlets that destroyed Sholom Rubashkin.
