Jewish Chronicle editor Ned Temko is to step down at the end of June
after 15 years in the job to “return to my first love as a journalist –
writing”.
Temko plans to take up a Londonbased post as British
and Europeanaffairs correspondent for a leading American newspaper,
finish work on two book projects and remain as a Jewish Chronicle
columnist.
Born and raised in Washington DC, before joining the
Chronicle as editor in 1990, he worked as a foreign correspondent for
the Associated Press, United Press International and, for 12 years, the
Christian Science Monitor .
He said: “The Chronicle has an
extraordinarily gifted editorial team. I feel confident that my
successor will help write a new chapter in the Chronicle’s history. It
has a team of reporters, writers, columnists and section editors that
is the equal of any paper in the country, and I am sure that it will go
from strength to strength.”
