At The Algemeiner‘s 11th annual “J100” gala on Tuesday night, the publication’s new chief executive, Dovid Cohen, expressed appreciation for the “warmth and support enveloped by all of you as I assume my new task as CEO of The Algemeiner.”
Cohen recalled The Algemeiner‘s founding on Feb. 25, 1972 as a weekly Yiddish newspaper that cost $0.25 with an initial edition that sold out.
“Very few things in life are cheaper today than they were 52 years ago. But The Algemeiner today is actually less expensive than that first edition,” Cohen said. “The Algemeiner went from Yiddish to English, from print to online, from a weekly to a daily.”
After describing his background in law, spirituality, writing, and podcasting, Cohen said, “We have a very solid foundation to build upon to take our work to an entirely new level of engagement.”
Noting the longtime refrain among Islamists characterizing Israel as the “little Satan” and the United States as “the big Satan,” Cohen expressed fear for the absence of moral clarity in American media and college campuses.
“I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility to stand up and to be heard and to be sure that voices of clarity prevail over the voices of falsehood that we perpetually hear in the media,” Cohen said.
