Britain’s most popular Jewish newspaper has been rebooted, reinvigorated… reborn!
Today we proudly unveil Jewish News’ first front-to-back redesign in a decade – from our eye-catching new red and silver logo and sharp, easy-to-read typefaces to new features and household-name columnists – all printed on high-quality paper and distributed to even more readers in more locations across London and beyond.
Read the new Jewish News HERE!
The heartbeat of any paper is the opinion pages, and our array of must-read columnists will provoke endless Shabbat dinner debates. New star writers include Nick Ferrari, Maajid Nawaz and Samantha Simmonds. We’ve also created a double-page spread of readers’ letters, reflecting the dramatic rise in audience responsiveness to the articles we publish in print and online.
You’ll notice we’ve combined our popular community, social announcements and Pulse picture pages into one bumper seven-page magazine-style section called Scene & Be Seen, giving more space to celebrate the individuals and organisations that make our community tick.
The structure of the newspaper has also changed, with news features now found in the middle and greater emphasis placed on food and health in our expanded features section.
All these visual and editorial innovations, developed with Matt Williams, one of the UK’s top print designers, and our inspiring production editor Diane Spender, have been made with one aim in mind – to enrich your reading experience.
The bathwater may have been tossed out, but we’re still holding firmly on to our precious baby. As Jewish News approaches its 20th anniversary and 1,000th issue, one thing will never change. We remain, first and foremost, the loud, proud voice of the Jewish community – serving loyal readers in the UK and reaching new audiences worldwide, while remaining entirely, uniquely, FREE!
The brand new newspaper follows the successful relaunch of jewishnews.co.uk – the most popular Jewish news website in the country with more than half-a-million page views a month and growing every week, with content promoted by our digital partner, Times Of Israel.
We’re excited to share the brand new Jewish News with you. Let us know what you think at editorial@thejngroup.com.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
