The J.T.A.: Its Function, Its Importance, and Its Service to American Jewry (part 3)

Article/series of quotations: "Many Testify to Record of Achievement: What the Press Served by J.T.A. and American Jewry's Leaders Say"

In discharging the task as outlined in the foregoing pages, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency has had the moral support of the press and the most outstanding leaders of the Jewish community.

The central point of the work of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, to report not what is believed to have happened but what has actually happened, with regard to all phases of Jewish life, be it in the field of education, in the field of economic activity, in the field of cultural achievement, of literary attainment, of scientific contribution, of communal activity or political work, has evoked the commendation of all. The manner of presentation, the passion for presenting the truth, the precision, the impartiality that dictated a policy of reporting facts without fear or favor, has won for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency the appreciation of Jew and Gentile, Zionist and non-Zionist, Orthodox and Reform.

Statesman and communal leader, rabbi and social worker, editor and publisher, scholar and layman are unstinting in their commendation and praise for the record of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
