This edition of the annual Baltimore Guide to Jewish Life celebrates a major
milestone for Mid-Atlantic Media: five years of publishing the Baltimore
Jewish Times. My, how time flies when you’re having fun! Such momentous
occassions naturally make me want to take stock and reflect upon how we’re
doing in serving the more than 90,000 residents who make up Charm City’s
Jewish community. Readership and subscriptions are both up, and our
content is better than ever – something we know not only from the feedback
we get from Jewish community members but from the outside approval
of our peers.

Allow me, if you will, to kvell a little: This year, JT won 13 awards for
writing and design from the American Jewish Press Association and the
Maryland, Delaware, DC Press Association. These contests have terrific
participation and the judges are seasoned professionals, truly making them
a measurement of editorial achievement.

At JT, we know our readers demand broad-based community coverage
and high quality, and these awards prove we’re on the right track. But we also
know there are other media outlets competing for our readers’ attention, so
we’re always grateful when you choose JT.

As we present this edition of JT’s Baltimore Guide to Jewish Life,
the most comprehensive resource for the Baltimore Jewish community,
please keep in mind how much you matter to us. Print publications across
the country are struggling to survive in an ever-changing media environment,
but Mid-Atlantic Media remains committed to the Greater Baltimore area
and to our mission at large: to build and strengthen the Jewish community.

Help us succeed with that mission by spreading the word about JT, by
providing feedback and, most of all, by continuing to read and engage.

We appreciate you!
Sincerely, Craig Burke
