The Event

Where Jewish Journalists Connect

An evening of conversation, connection, and community.

The Journalist Social is one of the most anticipated events of the AJPA Annual Conference — and it's open to everyone in the Jewish media world, not just conference registrants.

Join us at the JCC of Manhattan for an informal evening of drinks, conversation, and networking. Whether you've been in Jewish journalism for 30 years or you're just getting started, this is the room to be in. Meet editors from publications across the country, discover new collaborators, and reconnect with the broader Jewish media community.

All journalists are welcome. If you cover Jewish life, work at a Jewish media outlet, freelance for the Jewish press, or simply want to connect with people who do — this evening is for you.
