What 70 Faces Media does

70 Faces Media is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit digital media organization (EIN 13-0887610) headquartered at 169 Madison Avenue in New York City, operating a portfolio of six distinct Jewish-focused brands: the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA, founded 1917), New York Jewish Week, The Nosher, Kveller, Hey Alma, and My Jewish Learning. The organization was formed in 2015 through the merger of JTA and My Jewish Learning, with subsequent integration of the other four brands, creating what it describes as the largest and most diverse Jewish media organization in North America. Its core offering is multi-brand digital publishing across news, culture, food, parenting, education, and Jewish identity, distributed through six owned websites (4M monthly pageviews), daily email newsletters (400K subscribers), social media (1.9M followers across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), and a syndication network reaching 60+ partner publications worldwide.

The underlying technology is described as a digital publishing platform with multi-brand content management; no proprietary AI/ML models, APIs, or SDKs are disclosed. Editorial and commercial operations are supported by an 11-50 person team, with revenue generated through five streams: philanthropic donations (individual, major gifts, foundation grants, donor-advised funds), digital advertising (banner ads, native content, newsletter ads, sponsored social on a CPM basis), sponsored content production for partners, event and class ticketing (including the Jewish Digital Summit conference and 30,000+ virtual program participants in 2024), and ecommerce. Named advertiser and partner clients include Hillel International, HarperCollins, PBS, UJA-Federation of New York, American Technion, Leket Israel, Israel Cancer Research Fund, and Theorem Media. The organization holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating and the Candid Gold Seal (both 2025) and is led by CEO & Executive Editor Ami Eden, who previously led JTA.
