Tablet is an American Jewish online magazine founded in 2009 by Jewish non-profit Nextbook.[1]

Tablet magazine runs several new pieces each day, in addition to hourly updates on its blog, The Scroll.

Notable stories

In 2012, questions by Michael C. Moynihan, writing for Tablet, led to Jonah Lehrer's resignation from The New Yorker: Lehrer had invented and cobbled together quotes attributed to Bob Dylan for his biography of the singer, Imagine: How Creativity Works.[2]

In 2017, Tablet hired Gretchen Rachel Hammond, a Chicago journalist fired from her job at Windy City Times after breaking the news of Jewish activists being expelled from the Chicago Dyke March.[3][4]

In August 2018, reporter Armin Rosen investigated leftist New York State Senate candidate Julia Salazar's Judaism, finding that her family members never practiced Judaism and denied their Jewish ancestry.[5]

Staffers

Previous and current writers and editors associated with Tablet include Allison Hoffman,[6] Liel Leibovitz, Alana Newhouse (founder), Marc Tracy,[7] Tal Kra-Oz, and Bari Weiss.

Awards

Tablet has been nominated for five National Magazine Awards, winning first in 2011 for podcasting and again in 2012 for blogging (both categories have since been discontinued).[8]
