Jewish newspaper says it needs $150,000 to stay afloat
By adamg on Wed, 04/08/2020 - 8:37pm
The Jewish Journal, which has covered the Jewish communities of greater Boston since 1977, is seeking $150,000 to make up money it expects to lose in coming weeks due to Covid-19-related issues - both the loss of advertising revenue and the need to cancel an annual spring fundraiser. Publisher and Editor Steven Rosenberg said he's managed to make $50,000 in cuts and is applying for emergency SBA loans, but that even with that, the bi-weekly newspaper is suddenly in dire straits.

Someone get this to Bob Kraft
Someone get this to Bob Kraft's attention. He coud make up that shortfall with one check.
In the immortal words of Egon Spengler;
"Print is dead."
They have 2 full time employees and maybe a handful of part timers and need 150k to keep operating thru summer?
Even AFTER supposedly cutting 50k and possibly getting an SBA loan?
Here's an idea; halt paper printing and switch to online only for the time being because if 150k will only get them to summer, Steves gonna be hat-in-hand again in a couple months.
