Steve Rose

Editor
Steve Rose is now the sole owner of The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, which is celebrating 100 years of providing news and information to the Jewish community this year. The Chronicle will no longer be owned by MetroMedia, which Rose has co-owned with his nephew David Small.
Barbara Bayer will continue to serve as the paper’s editor and Judy Lanes will remain its account executive along with Robbie Small and Rebecca Rose Devereaux.
The Chronicle has moved its offices to 10650 Roe Blvd., Suite 141, Overland Park, KS 66207-3907. Office hours are by appointment only. The main phone number is now 913-235-4474. 
Rose becomes the ninth owner of The Chronicle. The Rose family first became associated with the paper in May 1964. At that time Stan Rose, Steve Rose’s father, became partners with Chronicle Editor and Publisher Milton Firestone. Following Firestone’s death in March 1983 Sun Publications Inc., owned by the Rose family, acquired all of The Chronicle’s stock. In 1998 Steve Rose, who by then was sole owner of Sun Publications, sold the company’s publications, including The Chronicle, to a New York investment group. Rose later bought it back, in 2010, as part of MetroMedia, a custom publisher.
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.
