A Brief Introduction to Historical Development Process of the Jewish Press

Abstract

This study briefly attempts to uncover the dynamics that had shaped Jewish journalism in Hebrew Language by tracking archives of Historical Jewish Press the catalogues of Israel National Library. The fact that the Jewish life was stuck in Europe and the existence of oppression from the official authorities has been reminded them of the importance of the solidarity networks among the Jews. The priority of solidarity and networking in the collective memory resulted into emergence and distribution of written publications which are driven by the Enlightenment movement in Europe. This development led to the spread of daily news, cultural developments, and global events among the Jews through newspapers, with the contribution of the development of the modern press. Assessing the shift of the hub of Jewish Press from Diaspora to Israel is important in revealing the discourse, strategy, and practical change among the Jews.
