The Jewish Week, the largest Jewish community newspaper for the largest Jewish community outside Israel — that would be New York City’s — has announced its first new editor since 1993.

Andrew Silow-Carroll, the editor in chief of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, a news wire service, will assume the editorship next month, when The Jewish Week’s longtime editor and publisher, Gary Rosenblatt, steps back. Rich Waloff, currently the associate publisher, will take over as publisher, Mr. Rosenblatt said.

The changes were announced a week after The Forward, the national Jewish newspaper that recently ended its print edition, named Jodi Rudoren, a New York Times managing editor, its next editor in chief.

Mr. Silow-Carroll, 58, said he wanted the paper to stay in the center of Jewish communal life, politically and otherwise, as it tries to survive despite a sharp decline in synagogue affiliation and a media environment that has decimated print weeklies. The Jewish Week’s print circulation has slipped to around 40,000, from more than 65,000 in 2005, according to Mr. Waloff.
