Haaretz (Template:Lang-he, literally "The land," referring to the Land of Israel) is an Israeli daily newspaper, founded in 1919. It is published in Hebrew in broadsheet format. Haaretz English Edition is the translated English edition of the paper. In Israel, it is published and sold together with the International Herald Tribune. In North America, it comes out as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. Both the Hebrew and English editions of Haaretz can be read on the Internet.

Compared to other mass circulation papers printed in Israel, especially Maariv and Yedioth Ahronoth, Haaretz is geared to more sophisticated readers. The headlines and print are smaller, less space is devoted to pictures, and the articles are longer and more analytical. Apart from the news, Haaretz publishes feature articles on social and environmental issues, as well as book reviews, investigative reporting and political commmentary.

Editorial policy

The position of the newspaper in Israel's religious spectrum is decidedly secular. At the same time it supports privatization, free-trade, reduction in welfare, lower taxes and strict fiscal practices..

Haaretz strongly supported the Oslo Accords with the PLO, but the op-ed pages of the paper are open to a wide variety of political opinions.

Management

The newspaper's editorial policy was defined by Gershom Schocken, who was editor-in-chief between 1939 and 1990. Haaretz is owned by the Schocken family. The editor and assistant editor are (resp.) David Landau and Tami Litani, who replaced Hanoch Marmari and Yoel Esteron in April 2004. The editor of Haaretz English Edition is Adar Primor.

As of August 2006 DuMont Schauberg has been the owner of 25 percent of shares of the Haaretz group. This German publisher, based in Cologne, controls 4 percent of the German market with 4 daily newspapers, a dozen of other publications and shares in the various radio stations. The deal was negotiated with the help of the former Israeli ambassador to Germany Avi Primor. According to the CEO of the Haaretz group Amos Schocken the proceeds from the sale will allow the company to augment its stake at Walla! which is one of the most popular Internet sites in Israel.

Internet Editions

Haaretz operates both Hebrew and English language websites. See External links.
