New York, NY, May 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Haaretz, the leading source for news on Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, this week introduced digital subscriptions and a new website to readers worldwide. With the move, Haaretz becomes Israel’s first news organization to move to a paid digital distribution model. The transition will enhance Haaretz’s digital presence, and provide Haaretz’s award-winning journalism and expanded media content to audiences on a number of platforms.
“Millions of readers rely on Haaretz for our reporting, analysis and perspective on the riveting and complex reality of modern Israel,” said Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken. “In the past few months, Haaretz has laid the groundwork for a significant enhancement of its online content - especially in English. With the introduction of our new, multi-platform digital subscriptions, Haaretz will extend and deepen its world-renowned expertise in news gathering and analysis to many new arenas that are of special interest to our English-speaking readers.”
Digital subscribers will have unlimited access to Haaretz.com, Haaretz mobile applications for iPhone and Android smartphones, the Haaretz digital news archives, full digital versions of the daily print edition, and other multimedia content produced daily – including journalist and editor blogs, videos, and online forums. Subscribers will also get the upcoming Haaretz iPad app, designed by leading developers in the media-publishing app industry.
“This year, for the first time, journalists from leading online news sites were awarded a Pulitzer Prize,” said Haaretz Editor-in-Chief Aluf Benn. “That’s an important milestone - one that shows digital journalism is no longer the future for the industry, but the present. We believe in the quality and importance of Haaretz, and, in today’s digital age, it is important we be innovative in delivering the richest, most interactive media experience on Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world to the modern news consumer.”
Haaretz users will be asked to register to receive free access to a limited number of articles each month. Once readers have reached their monthly limit of free content, they will be asked to become Haaretz digital subscribers to get additional articles and content. Existing subscribers of the Haaretz print edition will continue to receive free and unlimited access to Haaretz.com and all Haaretz digital offerings.
