The opening as it read in 2005
Yedioth Ahronoth (Hebrew: ידיעות אחרונות , meaning "latest news") is a major daily Israeli newspaper, written in Hebrew .1Since the 1970s , it is the most widely circulated paper in Israel.2One of the first privately owned Israeli newspapers, it was founded in 1939 by Nachum Komarov and was shortly after bought by Yehuda Mozes . In 1948, a large group of journalists and staff members led by Azriel Carlebach , who was Editor at the time, left to form another newspaper - Maariv . This began a still on-going battle for circulation and prestige between the rival newspapers. Carlebach was replaced with Herzl Rosenblum . Today, the paper is headed by Noah Mozes' son, Arnon Mozes , and is edited by Herzl Rosenblum's son, Moshe Vardi . It is owned by the Yedioth Ahronoth Group , which also owns stocks in several Israeli companies, such as " Channel 2 ", a commercial television channel; " Hot ", the Cable TV company; " Yedioth Tikshoret ", a group of weekly local newspapers; " Vesti ", a Russian language newspaper; magazines; and other non-media companies.3
