“I couldn’t walk easily, much less drive, but I knew I needed to be in Pittsburgh the moment I saw a CNN news alert that a shooting had taken place in a synagogue there.”
That’s the first line in Ron Kampeas’s must-read “Covering the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting and Its Aftermath Tested Me as a Jewish Journalist” (JTA).

“The truth is that the news media do have a problem in much of their reporting on Israel and Diaspora Jewry. It might help further their understanding if it weren’t called an ‘antisemitism problem’ — a loaded term that does more to insult than educate — and were described instead as an ignorance problem.
This essay is intended to address that ignorance.”
