Israel: Ultra-Orthodox free daily paper debuts
Posted by Kelley Vendeland on March 7, 2008 at 1:59 PM
A free newspaper aimed at Israel's Ultra-Orthodox community launched yesterday. The 16-page Yom Hadash will be distributed from Sunday to Thursday to compete with other existing ultra-orthodox papers.
Media analysts, however, have expressed doubts about the paper's ability to stay afloat in a media-saturated market, reports Haaretz.
The paper's religious affiliation is declared openly on the front page: "a newspaper for all Haredi public." Yom Hadash was created as an antidote to what its editors view as partisan reporting against certain rabbis in other ultra-Orthodox dailies such Yated Ne'eman.
The investors in the paper have chosen to remain anonymous, as have many of its contributing journalists.
