JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY (JTA)
- JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY (JTA)
- JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY (JTA),
bureau for the gathering and distribution of Jewish news. Established by
jacob landau in the Hague in 1914 as the Jewish Correspondence
Bureau, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency was reestablished in London by
Landau in collaboration with meir grossman in 1919. In 1922 its
headquarters was moved to New York. Under a 1950 reorganization, Landau
divested himself of his stock and control passed nominally to an
independent board of directors although the operating deficit on
operations was being met by the jewish agency . From 1960 the
stock was vested in the American Jewish News Foundation. The debts due
to the Jewish Agency were canceled, and the JTA became
eligible to receive subventions from Jewish Welfare Funds which were
essential to its survival, since less than one-third of its income came
from subscriptions to its publications and the sale of its services to
the press. Apart from its wire services, the JTA has
published the Jewish Daily Bulletin from 1924. In 1962 it
began a weekly bulletin, Community News. Boris Smolar was
editor-in-chief from 1924 to 1968. Subsequently it continued to operate
as a global news agency covering Jewish affairs around the world with
correspondents in more than 30 cities.
