Founded in British Palestine in 1918, Haaretz grew to become the most influential newspaper in Israel under the leadership of its iconic publisher and editor Gershom Schocken (1939-1990). It has a current circulation of about 70,000 copies in its Hebrew edition, while its English website draws more than 2.5 million unique visitors monthly. Currently led by editor-in-chief Aluf Benn and publisher Amos Schocken, Haaretz has more than 2,000 employees on its payroll, among them 600 in the editorial department.
