''Haaretz'' ((ヘブライ語:הארץ)) (lit. "The Land (Israel )", originally ''Ḥadashot Ha'aretz'' – (ヘブライ語:חדשות הארץ), – "News () the Land (Israel )"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Israel )〕) is Israel's oldest daily newspaper. It was founded in 1918 and is now published in both Hebrew and English in Berliner format. The English edition is published and sold together with the ''International New York Times.'' Both Hebrew and English editions can be read on the Internet. In North America, it comes out as a weekly newspaper, combining articles from the Friday edition with a roundup from the rest of the week. It is known for its staunch left-wing and liberal stances on domestic and foreign issues. ==History and ownership== ''Haaretz'' was first published in 1918 as a newspaper sponsored by the British military government in Palestine. In 1919, it was taken over by a group of socialist-oriented Zionists, mainly from Russia. The newspaper was established on 18 June 1919 by a group of businessmen including prominent philanthropist Isaac Leib Goldberg, and initially, it was called ''Hadashot Ha'aretz'' ("News of the Land"). Later, the name was shortened to ''Haaretz''.〔 〕 The literary section of the paper attracted leading Hebrew writers of the time. The newspaper was initially published in Jerusalem. From 1919 to 1922, the paper was headed by a succession of editors, among them Leib Yaffe. It was shut down briefly due to a budgetary shortfall and reopened in Tel Aviv at the beginning of 1923 under the editorship of Moshe Glickson, who held the post for 15 years.〔 The Tel Aviv municipality granted the paper financial support by paying in advance for future advertisements. Salman Schocken, a wealthy German Jewish Zionist who owned a chain of department stores in Germany, bought the paper in 1937. His son, Gershom Schocken, became the chief editor in 1939 and held that position until his death in 1990. Until August 2006, the Schocken family owned 100% of the Haaretz Group, but then the German publisher M. DuMont Schauberg acquired 25 percent of the shares. The deal was negotiated with the help of former Israeli ambassador to Germany, Avi Primor. This deal was seen as controversial in Israel as DuMont Schauberg's father, Kurt Neven DuMont, was member of the German Nazi party, while his publishing house promoted Nazi ideology. On 12 June 2011, it was announced that Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Nevzlin had purchased a 20% stake in the Haaretz Group, buying 15% from the family and 5% from M. DuMont Schauberg. This means that the Schocken family now owns 60% and M. DuMont Schauberg and Leonid Nevzlin have 20% each. In October 2012, a union strike mobilized to protest planned layoffs by the ''Haaretz'' management. As a consequence, both the ''Haaretz'' newspaper and its ''TheMarker'' business supplement were not printed for one day. According to ''Israel Radio'', it was the first time since 1965 that a newspaper did not go to press on account of a strike. 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「Haaretz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
