After October 7 features hard-hitting Jewish news coverage by award-winning journalist Kevin Deutsch. Exclusive. Investigative. Fearless.
When thousands of Hamas-led terrorists attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, veteran journalist Kevin Deutsch found himself asking a question that would ultimately reshape his career: who was going to tell the stories that much of the media either wasn’t seeing, wasn’t pursuing, or didn’t understand?
The answer became After October 7 (AO7), the watchdog Jewish news publication Deutsch launched to investigate community-level antisemitism, antizionist bigotry, Jewish civil rights issues, post-October 7 politics, and the forces reshaping Jewish life across the U.S.
Today, After October 7 is required reading for thousands of Jewish Americans, allies, community leaders, educators, attorneys, activists, and concerned citizens looking for original reporting on issues affecting Jewish communities. Featuring exclusive investigations, in-depth analysis, and essential accountability journalism, AO7 publishes high-impact stories that would otherwise go untold.
AO7’s reporting has exposed the exclusion of Jewish and Israeli artists, documented anti-Jewish racism in public schools and universities, investigated anti-Israel extremism inside labor unions and activist organizations, and reported on threats to Jewish civil rights throughout the U.S. Our digital newsroom has also produced deeply-reported investigations and watchdog projects vital to American Jewish communities.
What sets AO7 apart from other news outlets is our relentless focus on advocating for Jews facing dangerous bigotry, and the fact that Deutsch does not sit behind a desk; He is a dynamic, public-facing journalist who breaks major Jewish stories and has emerged as a prominent speaker on issues affecting Jewish communities after October 7.
