Israel’s first television station will begin operations within a year under the direction of the Weizmann Institute, Benjamin Abrahams, president of Emerson Radio and Television, said here this week-end before returning to New York.
Mr. Abrahams said the station will be non-commercial and constructed for educational and recreation purposes. Television sets provided by the Emerson Company will be located in various public places including kibbutzim. Mr. Abrahams visited Israel as a member of the Israel bond planning commission.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
