The Jewish Chronicle (The JC) is a London-based Jewish weekly newspaper. Founded in 1841, it is the oldest continuously published Jewish newspaper in the world.[2] Its editor (since January 2025[update]) is Daniel Schwammenthal.
The newspaper is published every Friday (except when this is a Jewish holiday, when it appears earlier in the week) providing news, opinion pieces, social, cultural and sports reports, as well as editorials and a spectrum of readers' opinions on the letter page. The news section of its website is updated several times a day.
The average weekly circulation in 2018 was 20,141, of which 7,298 were free copies, down from 32,875 in 2008.[3][4] In February 2020, it announced plans to merge with the Jewish News but, in April 2020, entered voluntary liquidation and was acquired from the liquidators by a private consortium of political insiders, broadcasters and bankers. The paper's political stance under editor Jake Wallis Simons subsequently moved to the right.[5]
In 2024, The Guardian reported that some of the newspaper's prominent journalists quit the newspaper due to its purportedly unknown ownership arrangements and alleged publication of "fabricated" stories.[6][7][8]
