In a moment when public trust in media is fragile, newsrooms are shrinking, and artificial intelligence is transforming how stories are told, what does it mean to practice honest journalism, especially when reporting on religion, Israel, and the Jewish people? Join veteran New York Times religion correspondent Ari L. Goldman, who spent two decades bringing deep religious literacy and narrative integrity to one of America’s most influential newspapers, for a timely and candid conversation about credibility, bias, vocation, and the future of the profession. A longtime Columbia Journalism School professor and mentor to generations of reporters, Goldman will reflect on how journalists can build trust and moral clarity in a polarized age. In dialogue with Rabbi Elie Kaplan Spitz, respected spiritual leader and author, this program promises a thoughtful exploration of truth, responsibility, and the enduring intersection of faith and public life.
