Rabbi Hillel Goldberg on Running a Family-Owned Jewish Newspaper

On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by Hillel Goldberg, editor and publisher of the Intermountain Jewish News, a weekly family-owned newspaper and website that has served the Rocky Mountain Jewish community for more than 100 years.

Rabbi Goldberg talked about the evolution of the publication and the importance of both his father and mother to the paper’s direction. He explained the intent of the news and editorial pages, discussed a number of recent articles, including an editorial welcoming Joe Biden to the presidency.

He also shared his approach to running the business, gave advice to students on how to work with family and how to establish themselves as writers, and picked a couple of journalism organizations for a personal salute.
