Israel-Nachrichten

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Israel-Nachrichten (meaning "Israel news") was a German language daily newspaper published in Tel Aviv. It was a part of the Internationale Medienhilfe network.

The paper was founded in 1935 by Siegfried Blumenthal. By 1950 it was one of the best selling newspapers in Israel.

Initially it was called "S. Blumenthal’s Private Correspondenz" (1935-1936), then "Blumenthal’s neuste Nachrichten" (1937-1943), then "Neuste Nachrichten" (1943-1973). In Hebrew it was known as "Yediot Hadashot." The content was in German except for a period in 1948 when part of the content was in Hebrew.

The 100,000 German-speaking Jews in Israel and German-speaking Jews around the globe were the target groups.

From 1975 until 2007, the editor-in-chief was Alice Schwarz-Gardos. She was the oldest editor-in-chief of a newspaper worldwide (born 31 August 1916 in Vienna).

Due to financial reasons, the paper was discontinued in January 2011.
