LSRAF.U HEADS LIST—
SURVEY SHOWS
933 JEWISH
PUBLICATIONS
NEW YORK <WUP>—A survey of
the Jewish press throughout the
world, painstakingly conducted by
Josef Eraenkel of England and pub
lished in the current Issue of "Jew
ish Social Studies,” has revealed
that there exists presently 933 pub
lications—dailies, weeklies and oth
ers—in the various parts of the
globe.
Israel, which publishes 25 dailies
as against the United States’ 3,
heads the list with 338 publications.
The U. S. has 250. Europe is listed
for 173; Africa 31; Asia 6; Canada
18, and Central and South America
100.
Declaring that “one of the chief
functions of a Jewish press is un
doubtedly the preservation and
strengthening of the Jewish spirit
and of Jewish morale,” Dr Fraen-
kel concludes his a|ipraisal of the
world Jewish press with the state
ment that “no Jewish editor ought
to forget that it is one of his duties
to acquaint the non-Jewish world
with the Jewish situation of the day
and to explain and justify—again,
not merely propound—Jewish griev
ances ami demands. In other words,
he must never lx' ,content with
preaching to the converted, though
this is a temptation to which it is
only too easy to succumb. The Jew
ish press must remember that it
can only fulfill its main function,
that of a link uniting the Jewish
people all over the world, if it re
mains fair, free and fearless.”
The “Jewish Social Studies” is^ “a
Quarterly Journal devoted to Con
temporary and historical aspects of
Jewish life. It is published by the
Conference of Jewish Social Studies
