Jerusalem Post
The Jerusalem Post is an Israeli newspaper in the English language. Until 1950 it was called The Palestine Post, which was founded on December 1, 1932, by American journalist-turned-newspaper-editor Gershon Agron.
During its time as The Palestine Post, the publication supported the struggle for a Jewish homeland in Palestine and openly opposed British policy restricting Jewish immigration during the Mandate period.
Its present political position is right of center. A left of center competitor is Haaretz (published primarily in Hebrew). As with other Israeli newspapers, it is published from Sunday to Friday, with no edition appearing on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) or Jewish religious holidays.
The Jerusalem Post is owned by Hollinger Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, the newspaper group controlled by British businessman Conrad Black. Hollinger Inc. also owns the Chicago Sun-Times, and London's Daily Telegraph. The current head editor is Bret Stephens.
