Ivan Marion Greenberg (8 December 1896 – 11 March 1966) was an English journalist. He served as the editor of The Jewish Chronicle from 1935 to 1946. He was a Revisionist Zionist.[1]
Ivan Greenberg was born in 1896 in London.[2][3] His father, L. J. Greenberg, was the editor of The Jewish Chronicle and close to Theodor Herzl;[4] his mother was Marion Gates.[3] During World War I, he served in the Royal Artillery.[3]
Journalistic career
Greenberg worked as a journalist in South Africa and Australasia.[3] He became editorial assistant at The Jewish Chronicle in 1925.[3] He served as its editor from 1935 to 1946,[2][3] when he was fired by the managing director David F. Kessler.[4] Under his editorial leadership, The JC took a decidedly Zionist stance.[5] Kessler dismissed him on the grounds that he was too divisive, and he was succeeded by John Maurice Shaftesley.[6]
