Yedioth Ahronoth

Israeli Hebrew language daily newspaper

Yedioth Ahronoth (, yedi`ot aḥaronot, meaning "latest news") is a major Hebrew language tabloid newspaper published in Israel. Since the 1970s it has been the most widely circulated paper in Israel.One of the first privately owned Israeli newspapers, it was founded in 1939 by Nachum Komarov and was shortly after bought by Yehuda Mozes. Its first managing editor was Noah Mozes, Yehuda Mozes' son.In 1948, a large group of journalists and staff members led by Azriel Carlebach, who was Editor at the time, left to form another newspaper Yedioth Maariv, later known as Maariv. Carlebach was replaced with Herzl Rosenblum. This began a still on-going battle for circulation and prestige between the rival newspapers, which peaked during the 1990s when both papers were discovered to have bugged one another's phones. [1] [2]
