Mass media in Israel in Hebrew

History of the Printed Media In 1863, two monthly papers established in Jerusalem, Halevanon and Havatselet, marked the beginning of the modern Hebrew press in the Land of Israel. כתב עת עברי שיצא לאור בהפסקות, עיתים כירחון, עיתים כדו-ירחון ועיתים כשבועון בין השנים 1863-1886. הוא החל להופיע בשנת 1863 בירושלים ולאחר מכן המשיך את הופעתו בפריס, במיינץ ובלונדון. רוב השנים היה העיתון עצמאי פרט לשנים 1878-1881 בו הופיע כמוסף לעיתון היהודי-גרמני איזרעליט. עורכיו היו יחיאל ברי"ל, מיכל הכהן, יואל משה סלומון וד"ר מאיר מרקוס להמן. כתבו בו מחשובי הרבנים האורתודוכסים, מאנשי הישוב הישן וראשוני חובבי ציון. מטרת העיתון היתה להביא לקוראיו חדשות מישוב ארץ ישראל והארצות הסמוכות וידיעות על העם היהודי במקומות יישובו. העיתון שימש כפה לעמדות אנשי העדה האשכנזית-פרושית בירושלים ובחו"ל, ולאנשי האורתודוכסיה הקיצונית והמתונה בשאלות העומדות על הפרק.

In 1869, newspapers began to appear regularly in Jerusalem, despite strict censorship and low circulation. World War I halted the publication of newspapers, until the British took control of the country, under a League of Nations mandate.

When the State of Israel was established in 1948, the activity of the press was not subjected to any particular law, although the Mandatory Press Ordinance had required that newspapers be licensed. Instead, the press has been guided by court decisions, which recognize the importance of a free press and its vital role in preserving democracy. During the eighties and nineties, the Israeli press underwent a process of significant change, not unlike that which occurred in Europe and North America. The media gradually came to be controlled by a limited number of organizations, whereas the papers published by political parties began to disappear. Today, three large, privately-owned conglomerates based in Tel Aviv dominate the mass media in Israel.

Daily Newspapers Ha'aretz, founded in 1919, is Israel's oldest daily, enjoying prestige and a reputation for solid, high-level reporting. It is owned by the Shocken media conglomerate which also owns a publishing house and many local papers.

Yediot Aharonot Yediot Aharonot, founded 1939, has the highest circulation - some two-thirds of all Hebrew newspaper readers. Such a circulation is without parallel in Western countries. It is the major component of the Moses family media conglomerate, which also owns a publishing house, produces magazines and local papers and is part owner of a music firm.

Ma'ariv Ma'ariv, founded 1948, was for many years the paper with the largest circulation, but it has since lost ground to its rival, Yediot Aharonot. It is owned by the Nimrodi family which also owns a publishing company and a music firm and produces popular magazines as well as local newspapers.

Globes Globes is a financial daily founded in 1983, the youngest of Israel's daily newspapers. It is privately owned and has already won a place in the business world.
