70 Faces Media is an American non-profit media organization, focusing on the Jewish community.

History

70 Faces Media formed in 2015 as a merger of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency news agency and wire service, Jewish motherhood-focused website Kveller and Jewish education website MyJewishLearning. Together the 3 platforms generated 3.4 million pageviews per month.[1]

In 2017, 70 Faces Media launched Hey Alma, an online magazine aimed at Jewish millennial women.[2]

In December 2020, 70 Faces Media acquired New York Jewish Week, a community newspaper for the Jewish community of the metropolitan New York City area.[3]

Funding

The organization is supported by 25 philanthropic foundations, 45 Jewish federations, and 2,000 individual donors.[1] Among its major funders are the Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation,[1] the Maimonides Fund, and the Jim Joseph Foundation.[4]
