''Ha-Yom'' ((ヘブライ語:היום), "The Day") was a Hebrew-language newspaper published from 1886 to mid-1888 from Saint Petersburg, Russia.〔Schreiber, Mordecai, Alvin I. Schiff, and Leon Klenicki. ''(The Shengold Jewish Encyclopedia )''. Rockville, Md: Schreiber Pub, 2003. pp. 109, 212〕 It was founded and edited by Jehuda Löb Kantor.〔Waxman, Meyer. '': Kessinger Publishing, 1941. pp. 46, 435-436〕〔''(The Renascence of Hebrew Literature (1743-1885) )'', p. 167〕 ''Ha-Yom'' was the first daily Hebrew newspaper.〔 When it was launched ''Ha-Yom'' had a daily circulation of around 2,400. By 1887 the number of subscribers had fallen to around 1,600.〔Kouts, Gideon. ''(The first Hebrew newspapers in Europe. Economic and Organizational Aspects )''〕 ''Ha-Yom'' was characterized by a modern, Europeanized form of journalism, previously unknown in the Hebrew-language press. It was the first Hebrew-language newspaper to rely on telegraphic news agency material for its coverage. Moreover, Kantor contracted correspondents in Jewish centres in Western Europe and the United States.〔Waxman, Meyer. '': Kessinger Publishing, 1941. pp. 441-442〕 Prominent contributors to ''Ha-Yom'' included D. Frischman, A. Rosenfeld and L. Katzenelson.〔 The launching and initial success of ''Ha-Yom'' provoked the existing Hebrew-language publications ''Ha-Meliz'' and ''Ha-Tsefirah'' to convert themselves into daily newspapers.〔 Competition with Aleksander Zederbaum's ''Ha-Meliz'' became fierce. Prior to the founding of ''Ha-Yom'',〔 ''Ha-Meliz'' had monopolized the Jewish press in the Russia.〔Orbach, Alexander. ''(New Voices of Russian Jewry: A Study of the Russian-Jewish Press of Odessa in the Era of the Great Reforms )''. Studies in Judaism in Modern Times, V. 4. Leiden: E.J.Brill, 1980. p. 65〕 The fact that ''Ha-Yom'' subscribed to the "Northern Company" telegraphic news agency forced ''Ha-Meliz'' to do the same. The subscription costs (3,000 rubles per year) became a heavy economic burden for both publications.〔 At an early stage ''Ha-Yom'' became the newspaper of choice of many followers of the Lovers of Zion movement. However, ''Ha-Meliz'' was able to convince a large portion of them to shift their subscriptions back to ''Ha-Meliz'', thus significantly undercutting the popularity of ''Ha-Yom''.〔 In 1887 the literary ''Ben-Ami'' ("Son of my people") was introduced as a monthly supplement to ''Ha-Yom''. Four issues of ''Ben-Ami'' were published.〔〔Beĭzer, M., and Martin Gilbert. ''(The Jews of St. Petersburg: Excursions Through a Noble Past )''. Philadelphia: The Jewish Publication Society, 1989. p. 277〕 The last few editions of ''Ha-Yom'' were edited by J. L. Gordon.〔Waxman, Meyer. '': Kessinger Publishing, 1941. p. 449〕 After ''Ha-Yom'' was closed down, Kantor became the editor of ''Ha-Meliz'' in 1889.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ha-Yom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
