Key facts and history
Haaretz was first published in 1918 as a newspaper sponsored by the British military government in Palestine.[2] A group of businessmen, among them philanthropist Isaac Leib Goldberg, founded the paper on 18 June 1919 under the name Hadashot Ha'aretz.[2] Jerusalem was the original city of publication for the newspaper.[3] A 20% interest in the Haaretz Group was bought by Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Nevzlin on 12 June 2011.[4]
What the cited sources add
Research published in 2003 in The International Journal of Press/Politics found that Haaretz's coverage of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict showed a bias more favorable to Israelis than to Palestinians.[5] At the 2007 Limmud conference in Moscow, Haaretz editor-in-chief David Landau stated, as reported by The Jerusalem Post, that he instructed his staff to avoid covering criminal investigations into Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.[6] Architect Joseph Berlin designed the Haaretz building that was used from 1932 until 1973.[7]
