Just in: God saves the JC
mainThe Jewish Chronicle, ‘organ of Anglo-Jewry’ (est. 1741), which has been in the hands of liquidators for the past three weeks, has been bought out by a consortium of well-intentioned investors after the collapse of a proposed merger with a Jewish freesheet.
The editor, Stephen Pollard, has been restored to his green eyeshade. The birds outside are singing klezmer.
Read the takeover notice here.
Personal interest: I am writing a Pepsyian plague column in the JC for the duration of Covid-19.
Fantastic news!!
Has Stephen Pollard been fully reinstated as editor or does he have the editor at large title that was purposed at one point.
fully
Good
That Pollard attended the John Lyon School bolsters my notion that he is the son of Anthony Pollard, the pre-Haymarket editor of Gramophone Magazine. (AP lived in Stanmore, a neighbour of friends of mine, and John Lyon is in Harrow on the Hill, an easy little journey away.)
Ask Stephen Pollard on twitter, he is regularly active there.
Good suggestion, but I don’t do Twitter.
Hi. It is a neat theory but I’m not!
Stephen
Ah, well. I’m glad you appreciate my reasoning, Stephen. Cheers, Steven.
Take the Pepsy challenge!
