Publication Data and Readership Figures
The Jewish Chronicle appears every Friday (except on days which are Jewish festivals, when it appears earlier in the week) providing news, views, social, cultural and sports reports, as well as editorials and a spectrum of readers' opinions on the letter page. It is independent and owned by the Kessler Foundation (UK), a charitable trust in the United Kingdom which has overall control of the newspaper and its assets.
The overall readership is estimated at 90,000 weekly reaching up to 35% of the total UK Jewish population. The newspaper's website includes paid-for searchable archives of all editions from the first issue to the present, making it valuable for Anglo-Jewish genealogists and historians. The website was launched in 2000 and has won three successive Weekly Newspaper on the Web awards. It was relaunched in 2008. On 17 January 2010, the site was briefly hacked by a group calling themselves "Palestinian Mujaheeds" who changed the front page to protest against Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The JC sponsors the Jewish Sunday league system in London, known as the Maccabi Football League.
