Algemeiner Chairman Simon Jacobson gave remarks at the 8th annual ‘J100’ gala on Tuesday night, discussing the paper’s guiding philosophy before introducing Editor-in-Chief Dovid Efune.
“Media, true media, as Emile Zola said so many years ago, is all about truth — objective truth, as much as humanly possible,” Jacobson told the crowd assembled. “But there’s another aspect which is sorely forgotten. Imagine media with a soul: with compassion, with love and kindness. Most people don’t associate the word ‘media’ with that.”
“I’d like to tell you that The Algemeiner has a soul,” Jacobson continued. “When you have a soul, it creates an unwavering commitment to truth, because nothing can buy you.”
“It’s a soul that goes back thousands of years — when Abraham 3,800 years ago was fighting for truth in a pagan world, and when Moses was doing the same in his time. And even in the worst of times, he never allowed the flame of truth to be extinguished.”
