In comparison to the other daily Hebrew newspapers, '' Maariv '' and '' Yediot Aharonot '', ''Haaretz'' is relatively high brow, with longer articles, smaller print, fewer pictures and daily science and literature pages. Its views on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict tend to be Leftist , particularly the reporting of Amira Hass and, to a lesser extent, Gideon Levy . ''Haaretz'' strongly supported the Oslo Accords with the PLO . The position of the newspaper in Israel's religious spectrum is decidedly Secular . Although space is often given to issues of Social Justice (exemplified by Ruth Sinai's frequent columns on this topic), the paper's editorial line on economical issues is primarily classical-liberal in the spirit of '' The Economist ''. It supports privatization, free-trade, reduction in welfare, lower taxes and strict fiscal practices. MANAGEMENT The newspaper's editorial line was defined by Gershom Schocken , who was editor-in-chief between 1939 and 1990 . Haaretz is owned by the Schocken family. The current editor and managing editor are (resp.) David Landau and Tami Litani, who replaced Hanoch Marmari and Yoel Esteron in April 2004 . INTERNET EDITIONS The online versions of Haaretz, both in Hebrew and English , are widely recognized to be among the most reliable and regularly updated news sites in Israel. Both websites provide very accurate information minutes after incidents have taken place. Haaretz.com is one of the most popular English-language websites for Israeli and Middle East news.
