Yedioth Newspaper No longer a Monoploy

The Yedioth Aharonoth newspaper is no longer considered a monopoly among daily papers, Antitrust Commissioner .Yedioth, Israel's largest circulation daily, has Sheldon Adelson to thank for the shift. In 1995 Yedioth was declared a monopoly, when it sold over 50% of the papers in the country. Now, with the added competition from Adelson's free Israel Hayom, its share is dropping. Israel Hayom ,the new paper, which launched two and a half years ago, is now distributing 250,000 copies a day, and has a 26.9% exposure among newspaper readers. Yedioths exposure now stands at 34.2%, while Maariv has 14.4% exposure and Haaretz - in Hebrew - is at 7.5%. Photos by Rafael Ben-Ari/Chameleons Eye
