Jewfolk, J. Weekly Share Podcasting Honor At Jewish Journalism Awards

NEW YORK Jewfolk, Inc. shared in a second-place award with J. The Jewish News of Northern California at the 45th Annual Simon Rockower Awards for Excellence in Jewish Journalism. The Awards ceremony was held Thursday night at the Center for Jewish History as part of the American Jewish Press Association’s annual conference.

The award went to J. reporter Emma Goss and Jewfolk’s Editor-in-Chief Lonny Goldsmith for the show Such A Match. The series featured couples with truly remarkable love stories, and life stories, which all share one thing in common the way they met: Through an ad or article in J. The Jewish News of Northern California.

The comment from the judge read: “I love the concept of this podcast and the human stories that it picks up. It is almost the diametric opposite of the first place one in terms of scope and style but also presents some of the best opportunities of the podcast genre.”
