What Is Haaretz?
Haaretz is based in Tel Aviv and has published since 1918. It is owned by Haaretz Group, funded by subscriptions and advertising.
Haaretz English is the strongest English edition of any Hebrew paper, and it is a subset of the Hebrew one. Most articles need a subscription. baba News reads it alongside 57 other Israeli newsrooms, translates each story to English, and groups it with every other outlet that covered the same event, so you can see Haaretz’s version next to the rest of the press.

How baba News Handles Haaretz
Every story is grouped with the other newsrooms that reported the same event. Haaretz arrives with its own headline rendered in English, its place on the left-to-right scale, and the filing time that shows whether it moved first or followed. Where one side of the press ran a story and another did not, the side that stayed quiet is named.
baba News does no original reporting and does not reproduce Haaretz’s article text. It writes a short English summary, labelled as its own, and links to the original with the publisher’s advertising and paywall intact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Haaretz sit in the Israeli press?
baba News places Haaretz on the left of the Israeli press, on the left side. That is a placement for comparing coverage, not a rating of accuracy: the point is to see what each side of the press ran and what it left out.
Can I read Haaretz in English?
Haaretz English is the strongest English edition of any Hebrew paper, and it is a subset of the Hebrew one. Most articles need a subscription. To follow it in English alongside the rest of the Israeli press, baba News translates every story and groups it with the other newsrooms that covered the same event.
Who owns Haaretz?
Haaretz Group. It is funded by subscriptions and advertising. Ownership and funding are part of every newsroom profile on baba News, because who pays for a newsroom is context a reader is entitled to have.
Is Haaretz reliable?
baba News does not score newsrooms for reliability, and treats any single licensed "factuality" number as something a reader should not have to take on faith. What it publishes instead is checkable: who owns the outlet, how it is funded, which stories it ran, which it did not, how it worded them, and how quickly it filed compared with the rest of the press.
What else does baba News read?
58 Israeli newsrooms publishing in Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, French and English, from the national broadcasters to the Haredi, religious-Zionist, Arabic and Russian-language press and official statement feeds.
