Mid-Atlantic Media LLC has named Steve Schuster as group editor of its Jewish Publications Division, overseeing news operations in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

He will direct three storied publications: the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent, which debuted in 1887 and is the second-oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the United States; Baltimore Jewish Times, founded in 1919; and Washington Jewish Week, launched in 1930.

The newspapers, which are focused on building and strengthening the Jewish community, regularly produce award-winning content.

Previously the managing editor of Wisconsin Law Journal, Schuster has more than a decade of experience covering legal affairs, business and public policy. Earlier in his career, he reported on Baltimore County politics and the Maryland State House for the Baltimore Sun Media Group. His career also includes time on Capitol Hill, where he covered the House Intelligence Committee.

Mid-Atlantic Media, which maintains offices in Columbia, Md., also publishes family and style publications, as well as operates a custom media division.

Sean Stevens, author of the report, told JNS that the “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” has been the most difficult subject in the report for “three years running.”
Danny Danon told JNS that it’s a “team effort” to help bridge the gap between governments saying that they will protect Jews and actually acting to do so.
A quarter century after the terror attacks in lower Manhattan, Rabbi Yona Reiss spoke to JNS about the agunah cases handled by the Beth Din of America.
“The Jewish community has been subjected to horrible, horrible acts of antisemitism,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told JNS exclusively. “It’s on the rise, and we have to do something about it.”
