Hey podcast listeners. It's tablet executive producer Josh Cross. I don't know if you've heard

the big news yet, but a new tablet has launched. A real magazine, a real digital home, and a real

future for those who still believe in reality and want to receive the truth.

Go to tabletmag.com is How to Be a Jew. I'm joined, as always by the glowing. Rabbi Diana Fersko. of a seismic change at tablet magazine. We've been talking about it. You've been hearing ads about

it when you listen to any of our podcasts. You've probably been getting newsletter after newsletter

after newsletter talking about it. And it seems high time that we bring in the visionary behind

this whole thing. Our editor-in-chief, Alana Newhouse, Alana, welcome. Thanks so much. Great

to be here. Great to have you here so i thought it would

be best for everybody listening to hear from you why we are taking this step i would say into the

future but it's also back to the future tablet is is embracing print that thing of the past

actually how i got my start in journalism was in print magazines.

And so I have a special affinity for it. But for people who haven't had the pleasure of actually

receiving something in the mail, reading something in their hands, I wanted to hear from you

why this change in thinking. So to start with, I've always loved print. Tablet actually had a

short-lived print quarterly 10 years ago. So this is a move I've always loved print. Tablet actually had a short-lived print quarterly 10 years ago.

So this is a move I've been wanting to make mainly because I felt that it was right for what Tablet was trying to do for our readers almost since the very beginning.

But what happened recently is that the market joined me. And the thing, the way that I can explain it is you already have no idea whether what you're reading online was produced by AI. You already can't tell. And to the extent that you can't tell now, you definitely won't be able to tell a year from now. And what tablet is, is it's a magazine produced by human beings with a lot of care

and concern for other human beings.

And I needed to figure out a way to package that in a form that people could trust.

And people could know was made for them. And so when you think

about it, I guess I could have had our staff come to everyone's homes and done interpretive dances

for them. But this seemed actually like a much easier route to go. You published a piece about this that you called, I think, you are not the media, right?
