About Times of Israel
The Times of Israel is a privately owned online newspaper co-founded by Israeli journalist David Horovitz, who serves as the founding editor, and American billionaire investor Seth Klarman, who is the chairman of the website and provided initial funding. It is registered in Israel as 'Zmanei Yisrael' and primarily funded through digital advertising revenue.
The Times of Israel aims to be an independent, fair-minded news source covering developments in Israel, the Middle East, and the Jewish world. Media Bias/Fact Check rates it as Left-Center biased, noting editorial positions that slightly favor the left, but also highlights one-sided pro-Israel reporting, particularly regarding Palestine. AllSides, while rating it 'Center' with low confidence, observes that its opinion section, 'The Blogs,' publishes almost exclusively pro-Israel opinions. The headline sample reflects a focus on Israeli and Jewish affairs, often using terminology consistent with a pro-Israel perspective, such as 'terror convicts' and 'car-ramming terror attack.' While generally considered factual, readers should be aware of its consistent pro-Israel framing, especially concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Reading context
Media systems vary by law, ownership, and editorial custom. We preserve each outlet's framing and add context so readers can compare coverage without treating one country as the default.
