    Episode 60: Why Our Public Persona Matters to the Stories We Write with Jim Loeffler
    Oct 6 2025
    We’re speaking with Jim Loeffler, Felix Posen Professorship in Modern Jewish History at Johns Hopkins University about how our public persona affects the stories we tell and pitch to editors. We talk about Loeffler’s publishing experience with academic presses, academic-trade, and why moving to trade press has been so different. We talk about some of the challenges involved in Loeffler's forthcoming book about antisemitism and free speech, which includes contemporary material about Charlottesville 2017, which Loeffler experienced as a UVA Jewish Studies professor, a Jewish community member, and then as a reporter, who covered the Charlottesville trial for the Atlantic. We also discuss the challenges of changing institutions, and the benefits of editing an academic journal and gaining a wider perspective on readers’ reports.
