The day William Frankel moved into the editor's chair of the Jewish Chronicle
in a dark corner of the little-known Furnival Street — within four minutes’
slow walk of Fleet Street — it was hardly more than a parish magazine with
attitude. He transformed it almost overnight into a national newspaper that
was also internationally quoted and discussed. He did so with little money.
It was his own high intelligence, limitless interest, boundless energy and
ceaseless curiosity, allied to a total absence of deference to chief rabbis,
presidents of the Board of Deputies of British Jews or any other
Establishment grandees, that wrought a journalistic miracle.
