JERUSALEM POST

Israeli English-language daily newspaper established in 1932 as the Palestine Post. It adopted its current name in 1950. It is the largest English-language daily in the country. A morning paper appearing daily except Saturday, the Post has traditionally stressed foreign news, giving particular attention to Arab-Israeli relations. In the mid-1990s its circulation was about 60,000 daily and 100,000 for its big Friday edition. The weekend edition is the basis for an international edition called the Jerusalem Post Weekly, with a worldwide circulation of 148,000. Essentially independent in its editorial policies, the Jerusalem Post has combined spare writing with economical headlines and careful editing to build a reputation for informative, objective, and thorough coverage. The paper carries little advertising.
