PJFM is devastated to hear about the passing of Gretjen Clausing, the founding director of PhillyCAM, Philadelphia’s public access media company. This is a profound loss for the Philadelphia film and media community. Gretjen was a warm, welcoming presence who created a vast interconnected community of film fans and professionals. We are proud to be a continuous partner of PhillyCAM, playing a small part in carrying on her legacy. May her memory be a blessing.

Hailey Ronen is a Jewish content creator based in the Nebraska heartland, known for warm, authentic storytelling at the intersection of faith, lifestyle, and Midwest living. She takes her audience along on local adventures and inside her small Jewish community in Omaha. There may be more cows than people in Nebraska, but Hailey still managed to meet her Israeli husband at a Shabbat dinner there. Hailey’s goal is to connect with Jews around the world to show them the good life in Nebraska, and educate non-Jewish friends about Jewish and Israeli lifestyle and traditions.
