''Maariv'' ((ヘブライ語:מַעֲרִיב), lit. ''Evening'') is a national Hebrew-language daily newspaper published in Israel. It is second in sales after ''Yedioth Ahronoth'' and fifth in readership after ''Israel HaYom'', ''Yedioth Ahronoth'', ''The Jerusalem Post'', and ''Haaretz''. From Sunday to Thursday the newspaper is printed under the ''Ma'ariv Hashavu'a'' ((ヘブライ語:מעריב השבוע)) brand while the weekend edition that is out in Friday is printed under the ''Ma'ariv SofHashavu'a'' ((ヘブライ語:מעריב סופהשבוע)) brand. Since May 2014, ''Maariv''s co-editors in chief are Doron Cohen and Golan Bar-Yosef. Apart from the daily newspaper and its supplements, the ''Maariv'' has a chain of local newspapers with a national scale distribution and magazines division. ==History== ''Maariv'' was founded in 1948 by former ''Yediot Aharonot'' journalists led by Dr. Ezriel Carlebach who became Maariv's first editor-in-chief. It was the most widely read newspaper in Israel in its first twenty years.〔 For many years, the Nimrodi family held a controlling stake in ''Maariv'' and Yaakov Nimrodi served as its chairman. In March 2010, Zaki Rakib bought a 50% share from Israel Land Development Company and Ofer Nimrodi, bringing new energy and much needed cash infusion to the newspaper, which has been losing millions of NIS a year since 2004. Rakib became the new chairman. However, it was announced in March 2011 that Nochi Dankner was to take control of ''Maariv'' through his Discount Investment. On 25 March Discount transferred 20 million NIS to the struggling firm. On 11 September, ''Maariv''s chairman Dani Yakobi issued a statement saying that he will sell the newspaper's printing equipment to be able to pay September salaries. On 7 September, Globes announced that Dankner had reached an agreement with Shlomo Ben-Zvi, publisher of Makor Rishon to buy out the newspaper However, the deal faltered, and Dankner turned to the court on 23 September for a stay of proceedings process. The court, in turn, appointed a trustee, Shlomo Nass, who ran the newspaper and searched for a buyer. During the following weeks the workers waged a campaign against IDB and Dankner, demanding he honor his obligations to them and pays their salaries, pensions and severance package in full. In early November the trustee sold the newspaper to Ben Zvi without the debts or the workers. Ben Zvi kept a fraction of the journalists and commenced a partial convergence process between Maariv and Makor Rishon under his company, Makor Rishon Hatzofe Hameuchad. As of January 2013, the company Maariv Modiin Ltd. no longer operates ''Maariv'', and until its scheduled closure it will be operated by the court appointed trustee. In March 2014, after a long struggle to stabilize the company, Mr. Ben Zvi turned to the municipal Jerusalem court for a stay of proceedings process. Maariv closed most of its departments and published only a thin version, until the court appointed trustee will find a new owner. In May 2014 the brand was purchased by Eli Azur who has holdings in a number of media outlets in Israel including The Jerusalem Post, Sport1, Israel Post and 103FM radio station. A few days after the deal was approved, Mr. Azur relaunched the daily newspaper as Maariv-Hashavua, and a weekend edition called Maariv-Sofhashavua, which is an amalgamation of Maariv and the group's weekend magazine Sofhashavua. 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「Maariv (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
