Compared to other mass circulation papers printed in Israel, especially Maariv and Yedioth Ahronoth, the headlines and print in Haaretz are smaller, less space is devoted to pictures, and the articles more analytical. Maariv (מַעֲרִיב lit Evening) is a popular Hebrew language Daily newspaper published in Israel. Yedioth Ahronoth (ידיעות אחרונות, lit Latest News) is a major Hebrew language Daily newspaper published in Israel. Its editorial pages are considered more influential among government leaders. [3] Apart from the news, Haaretz publishes feature articles on social and environmental issues, as well as book reviews, investigative reporting and political commentary.

The Hebrew edition has a core readership of 65,000. The English edition is subscribed to by 15,000 readers (though many more readers are only website visitors). A weekly edition is available in print in North America. [4][5] The newspaper itself has reported a paid subscribership of 65,000, daily sales of 72,000 copies daily, and 100,000 on weekends. [6]

Haaretz's readership includes Israel's middle and upper classes, intellectuals, academics, and professionals. It is considered to have influence greater than its circulation numbers because of its following amongst the Israeli intelligentsia and government leaders. [7][8][9]

History

Haaretz was first published in 1918 as a newspaper sponsored by the British military government in Palestine. [10] In 1919 it was taken over by Russian Zionists. Initially, it was called Hadashot Ha'aretz ("News of the Land"). The literary section of the paper attracted the leading Hebrew writers of the time. [11] It was first published in Jerusalem, but moved to Tel Aviv in 1923, under the editorship of Moshe Gluecksohn, who served as editor from 1922 to 1937. [12] Salman Schocken, a wealthy German Jewish Zionist who owned a chain of department stores in Germany, bought the paper in 1937. Salman Schocken (שלמה זלמן שוקן ( October 30, 1877, Margonin, Poland - August 6, 1959, Pontresina His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor and held that position until 1990. [13]

Editorial policy

The editorial view of Haaretz is further left than Yedioth Ahronoth and Maariv, although the paper takes a moderate position with respect to foreign policy and security issues. Yedioth Ahronoth (ידיעות אחרונות, lit Latest News) is a major Hebrew language Daily newspaper published in Israel. Maariv (מַעֲרִיב lit Evening) is a popular Hebrew language Daily newspaper published in Israel. [14] Its op-ed pages are open to a wide variety of political opinions. [15] A 2003 study in the The Harvard International Journal of Press/Politics found that Haaretz' reporting was more favorable to Israelis than to Palestinians, and was more likely to report stories from the Israeli side. [16] The pro-Israel media-monitoring and advocacy group CAMERA claims that Haaretz is often quoted by anti-Israel commentators. The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA is a Boston -based non-profit pro-Israel media watchdog group which was founded in 1982 In a CAMERA conference in October 2007, executive director Andrea Levin was quoted saying in a critical speech highlighting the influence of Haaretz that "No other newspaper in Israel matters [internationally] because Haaretz is an elite publication and it has such an amazing English-language website. It is read by millions around the world. "[17][18] while The Nation describes Haaretz as "Israel's liberal beacon," citing its editorials voicing opposition to the occupation, the security fence, discriminatory treatment of Arab citizens, and the mindset that led to Second Lebanon War.

Management

The newspaper's editorial policy was defined by Gershom Gustav Schocken, who was editor-in-chief from 1939 to 1990. Year 1939 ( MCMXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) Haaretz is owned by the Schocken family. The editor of the paper today is Dov Alfon, replacing David Landau in April 2008. David Landau could refer to David J Landau (1920-1996 author and Holocaust survivor David Landau (screenwriter, American screenwriter Landau succeeded Hanoch Marmari[20] and Yoel Esteron in April 2004.

Internet editions

Haaretz operates both Hebrew [21] and English [22] language websites. Selected articles on both websites are open to readers' comments in the form of Internet talkback, which sometimes degenerate into mudslinging and racial slurs. Haaretz's policy on talkback is more tolerant than many other papers, in line with its belief in freedom of expression. As Fania Oz-Salzberger, a frequent contributor to the Haaretz opinion pages, put it: "It is possible and important to grapple with virtual evil, but not by silencing it. It is better to do so intelligently and with humor, in the same public space where it first saw the light of day - on the Internet itself. This is because sunshine, as American-Jewish Supreme Court justice Louis Brandeis said, is the best disinfectant. Louis Dembitz Brandeis ( November 13, 1856 – October 5, 1941) was an American litigator, Supreme Court Justice, advocate "[23] Others, among them Haaretz's Bradley Burston, feel that talkback should be censored.
