The opening as it read in 2005
Makor Rishon is an Israeli weekly newspaper, identified with conservative national and religious values.1It was launched in the 1990's to counter the dominance of secular and left wing media. Because the newspaper was driven by ideology rather than business, it was both a quality high brow paper and an economic failure. After a financial collapse the paper was resurrected in 1999 , and an effort was made to obtain financial stability and more readers. The paper is published as a tabloid with two added sections, one for political analysis and one for features. Most of its readers are part of the nationalist religious community.2The editor-in-chief is Amnon Lord , an experienced Israeli journalist and writer, who started his career in the far left Peace Now movement, and changed his views following the Oslo Accords .3The weekly is published in Tel Aviv and most of its readers are subscribers.4
