Independent Jewish magazine Moment will be fulfilling
the print subscriptions of The Forward’s readers starting with Moment’s
summer issue, bringing Moment’s total readership to 75,000, Moment announced.
The Forward
announced in January that it would be ending its print edition that went to
16,000 subscribers. The Forward published its final print edition in
April/May 2019.
Moment has
published since 1975, when the magazine was founded by Elie Wiesel and Leonard
Fein. “We welcome The Forward’s print subscribers,” says Nadine
Epstein, Moment editor-in-chief and CEO, “and are grateful that when so
many media outlets are facing financial challenges, we can partner
with The Forward to serve their print readers.”
“Moment
remains dedicated to print,” says Epstein. “People of all ages still love the
feeling of holding a magazine in their hands. And studies have shown that
reading the printed word on paper is critical to information retention. Plus it
strengthens civil discourse — readers have more time to consider what they are
reading.”
As part of
its print expansion, this year Moment launched its own publishing
imprint, MomentBooks, in partnership with Mandel Vilar Press.
