Where is haaretz published

As an aside we will mention that the question of whether there was deception in the published photo in this case is not a simple one. The question raised here is whether the photograph reflects the truth or a distortion of reality created by a coincidence. This question could arise in another similar, if not identical situation, for example where a camera captures a politician just as a huge advertisement for the opposing party pasted to the side of a bus passes by.

This question was not discussed in the lower court, nor will we address it now. Regarding the claims related to the Defamation Law, we have not found any reason to interfere with the conclusion reached by the earlier courts. This is because we have not been convinced that the publication of the photograph harms the applicant to a degree that constitutes grounds for a suit under the Defamation Law.

Needless to say, in such matters each case must be examined based on the particular circumstances. It must be said that if not for the violation of the promise to the applicant, in my view the applicant would not have had a case. Therefore, in light of the reasoning at the basis of our ruling today, there is no reason to reduce the compensation and it should be set at NIS 30, The appeal is granted as stated.

The judgment of the Magistrates Court, with the aforesaid amendment, is reinstated. I also agree that in light of the promise made by respondent 4 to the applicant and following its violation, the defence prescribed in s.

Therefore, I see no need to express an opinion about what conclusion would have been drawn were it not for the violation of the promise made to the applicant. Tzadik v.

Leiblich, T. The facts 1. The previous proceedings 2. Moshe Glickson. In , the paper was bought by Salman Schocken, a businessman and prominent Zionist from Germany who had recently settled in Palestine. His son, Gershom, took over the editorship in and headed the paper until his death more than fifty years later, in Since then, Gershom Schocken's son, Amos, has served as publisher of Haaretz.

Hanoch Marmari served as editor-in-chief from through April , followed by David Landau, from May through June Landau was replaced by Dov Alfon, who served in the position until August , when he was succeeded by Aluf Benn. Haaretz sells 75, copies on weekdays and 95, on Fridays. Gluecksohn's influence as editor was paramount, and during his editorship the paper acquired its liberal orientation. It was noted for its quality of writing, including its literary supplement.

Its weak financial base made the newspaper dependent partly on philanthropists, including subsidies from Zionist institutions. Becoming an elitist highbrow newspaper, Haaretz was identified with the liberal wing of the Zionist movement.

Its editorial policy was characterized by a minimalist stance on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and supported territorial withdrawal from territories captured in the war. Economically, the newspaper championed free enterprise in the face of the country's socialist ethos.

It saw human rights as a supreme value. It supported separation of religion and state. While he saw the newspaper as an ideological vehicle, Schocken succeeded in strengthening its weak economic base, partly through establishing a chain of local newspapers in the s. A graphic artist, and previously editor of Ha-Ir , the Schocken chain's local Tel Aviv newspaper, Marmori shook off the stuffy German heritage of the newspaper and attracted younger and non-Ashkenazi readers.

In addition to the two main sections for news and for features and editorial comment, Marmori introducted a lifestyle section called "Gallery," featuring culture and entertainment pieces, and a midweek Books Supplement.
