The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle Information

Since 1920, the Kansas City Jewish Chronicle has provided its readers with Jewish news and opinion from a variety of perspectives - local, regional, national and international. The paper is mailed to subscribers each week and also is available for purchase at The Chronicle's office. Steve Rose and David Small purchased The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle in November 2010 from News Press and Gazette Company of St. Joseph, Mo., the parent company of Sun Publications. Rose serves as chairman of the 91-year-old paper; Small is the company's president.

The paper also publishes reports of national and overseas events from JTA News & Features.
