Saul Yanovsky

Saul Yanovsky () (April 18, 1864 – February 1, 1939) was an American anarchist and journalist.

He is best remembered as the editor of the Yiddish anarchist newspaper ''Fraye Arbeter Shtime,'' a role he held for twenty years. He contributed to other newspapers including the London anarchist newspaper Arbayter Fraynd and socialist competitor Forverts, He was a member of the Jewish-anarchist group Pioneers of Liberty.

Yanovsky was one of the most influential editors in Yiddish journalism. Sociologist Robert E. Park remarked that writing for Yanovsky was the equivalent of a Yiddish literary passport. However, if Yanovsky thought a submission was subpar, the submission risked being subjected to his biting sarcasm and literary wrath in his dedicated section in the ''Fraye Arbeter Shtime.''
