History
Jewish Insider, a daily news service based in Washington, D.C. was started by Max Neuberger. In 2015, Tribe Media Corp., owner of the Jewish Journal, acquired Jewish Insider.[1] In 2021, Jewish Insider acquired eJewishPhilanthropy.[2][3]
Notable coverage
In May 2022, Jewish Insider broke the news that the Biden administration had suspended assistance to Sudan after the 2021 Sudanese coup d'état.[4]
In September 2024, Jewish Insider published an article repeating a false claim by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel that Representative Rashida Tlaib had said Nessel was targeting pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of Michigan due to being Jewish, a claim that Tlaib had not made in an interview with the Metro Times. The false claim was repeated by Anti-Defamation League (ADL) CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.[5][6][7] The false claim was debunked by the Metro Times.[8] Jewish Insider later updated its article, revising the wording without issuing a formal correction by changing "claimed" to "suggested".[6][7] The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned Jewish Insider and Nessel for perpetrating a "blatant and hateful hoax" against Tlaib.[9]
Jewish Insider first reported the antisemitic, misogynistic, and conspiratorial social media posts that led to the resignation of Chicago school board president Mitchell Johnson in 2024,[10][11] and the antisemitic social media posts of Kingsley Wilson, a Defense Department official in the Second Trump Administration.[12]
