Interior Minister Israel Rokach favors complete freedom of publication for newspapers and periodicals in languages other than Hebrew, and opposes any measures which may limit non-Hebrew publications, he told a press conference.
The Minister expressed the hope that the new generation would be completely Hebrew-speaking and, therefore, would have no need for a foreign language press. Of the 242 dailies, weeklies, monthlies and quarterlies published in Israel, 96 are in some language other than Hebrew.
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.
