The first issue of Israel Hayom appeared on July 30, 2007. The paper was initially published five days a week, Sunday through Thursday. On November 20, 2009, the newspaper added an expansive weekend edition, published on Fridays. On June 9, 2011, the English edition of Israel Hayom was launched.
Israel Hayom was founded on the belief that the Israeli public deserves better, more balanced and more accurate journalism. Journalism that speaks, not shouts. Journalism of a different kind. And free of charge.
The newspaper's credibility, and the reputation we have enjoyed from our very first issue, have drawn a range of talented writers to the organization. Our writing staff is made up of leading reporters and columnists, rich in experience, talented in writing and in communicating information in a compelling and thought-provoking manner, and whose professional ethics are beyond reproach.
Israel Hayom is distributed throughout the country to homes, workplaces and in a range of public locations and has become the most widely read paper in Israel.
