Jerusalem Post

What Jerusalem Post does

The Jerusalem Post, operated by Jpost Inc., is Israel's leading English-language news publisher, founded in 1932 and headquartered in Jerusalem. The company operates a multi-platform media business anchored on jpost.com, a daily print newspaper, and an International Edition weekly digest distributed globally. Its primary audience consists of English-speaking international news consumers and the Jewish diaspora, with secondary segments serving defense and security professionals, real estate investors, and education-sector readers.

The product portfolio spans a core news website and several specialized vertical subdomains: Defense & Tech (Israeli defense industry, military technology, international defense trade), JPost Real Estate (property listings across Israel), JPost Higher Education (in partnership with Ben-Gurion and Reichman Universities), and MDA Heroes (in collaboration with Magen David Adom). Supporting products include the JPost Digital Library subscription (offering e-paper access to the Jerusalem Report, Ivrit Hebrew-learning magazine, and special supplements), JPost Podcasts, a JP Store e-commerce property, and tiered digital subscriptions (JPost Premium and Premium Plus). A Spanish edition extends reach into Hispanic markets.

The business model combines recurring digital and print subscriptions, display and sponsored-content advertising (including a dedicated programmatic monetization role), conference and event revenue (Diplomatic Conference, Washington Conference, Sydney Summit), and licensed content/special publication sales. Distribution is omnichannel: owned digital properties, email newsletters, organic social, podcasts and video, SEO, and live events serve top- to bottom-funnel demand.

Direct peers

• Haaretz: Haaretz publishes an English-language daily newspaper and website covering Israel and the Middle East. It is JPost's primary direct competitor in the English-language Israeli news market, serving overlapping diaspora and international reader segments with a similar subscription-plus-advertising model.
• The Times of Israel: The Times of Israel is a leading English-language digital news site covering Israel, the Jewish world, and the Middle East. It directly competes with JPost for the same English-speaking audience, particularly in the diaspora, and operates a comparable multi-vertical digital news model.
• Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA): JTA is a global Jewish news agency providing English-language coverage of Jewish communities, Israel, and antisemitism. It serves the same diaspora audience as JPost and competes for readership and nonprofit/institutional mindshare in Jewish world coverage.
• Al-Monitor: Al-Monitor provides English-language, on-the-ground coverage of the Middle East with country-specific verticals and a paid newsletter model. It competes with JPost for policy professionals, diplomats, and engaged international readers interested in regional affairs.
• Middle East Eye: Middle East Eye is an independent English-language digital news outlet covering Middle East politics and culture. It targets a similar international readership seeking in-depth English-language coverage of the region, partially overlapping with JPost's audience.

Emerging players

• +972 Magazine: +972 Magazine is a non-profit, English-language online magazine covering Israel and the occupied territories. It addresses overlapping topics with JPost but with a markedly different editorial stance, appealing to a subset of progressive English-speaking readers.

Broad incumbents

• BBC News: BBC News is a major global English-language news organization with extensive Middle East coverage. It competes for the same international news-consuming audience as JPost and sets the benchmark for authoritative coverage that JPost differentiates against.
• The Guardian: The Guardian is a global English-language news outlet with significant Middle East and Israel coverage. It competes with JPost for internationally engaged readers and advertising spend in English-language international news.
