Danielle Berrin writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nLast week, Atlantic national correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg announced his plan to move his eponymous blog, \u201cGoldblog\u201d to the online Jewish magazine, Tablet<\/a>. This came as a surprise, since during an interview for aprofile I wrote of him<\/a> last fall, he expressed considerable discomfort with the term \u201cJewish journalist.\u201d He said it was \u201cghettoizing\u201d and that he didn\u2019t want to be \u201cpigeonholed\u201d and that blogging on Jewish issues from The Atlantic\u2019s general interest platform suited him just fine (see below). \u201cIt\u2019s the best of all possible worlds,\u201d Goldberg said.<\/div>\n
\nWell, something<\/i> changed his mind (or maybe it was Mem Bernstein<\/a>, the venture philanthropist that funds Nextbook Inc. and affiliates<\/a>). Because what once seemed parochial and limiting to Goldberg is now being plugged in the most flattering terms: Tablet is \u201centertaining, stimulating, sophisticated and complicated,\u201d he said in a PR statement posted on Tablet\u2019s Website. But writing on his blog last Friday, he was more honest about his ambivalence: \u201cI don\u2019t make this move lightly,\u201d he wrote.<\/div>\n
\n\u201cI think we\u2019re entering a period of huge disruption in the relationship between America and Israel, and between American Jews and Israelis, and I want to be able to focus on these conflicts in an intensely granular way, inside the Jewish community. Tablet is the most exciting Jewish publication I\u2019ve seen since I worked, in the previous century, at the Seth Lipsky-led Forward, and it is becoming the hub of the worldwide Jewish conversation.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
