A very nice piece from Ian Burrell in today’s Independent about my new appointment at the Jewish Chronicle.
Regular readers here will perhaps be surprised that I am worried about being seen as making the journey from left to right.
Here are the key bits:
Martin Bright starts work today as the first non-Jewish political editor in the 168-year-old history of The Jewish Chronicle and he is not expecting the job to be easy. Across the blogosphere he’s already a bête noire, a target for right-wingers, hard-line lefties and Islamic radicals alike. He might as well have a few conservative JC readers on his back as well.
“I know that some people will see my accepting the job as confirmation that I’m not only the first non-Jewish political editor of The Jewish Chronicle but I’m also the first left-wing, Neo-Con, Zionist political editor of The Jewish Chronicle,” he acknowledges with a sense of resignation.
