Israel Hayom media group launched a new economic division headed by Or Dayan, aiming to expand business coverage across print, digital, and social platforms.
The media group Israel Hayom is expanding its operations into the economic sector, establishing a new economic division that will operate across its print newspaper, website, and social media networks. The announcement was made by Editor-in-Chief Omer Lachmanovitch on Wednesday during the group's conference in New York, held at the InterContinental Hotel in Manhattan.
Or Dayan, who previously served as the group's manager of conferences and collaborations, has been appointed to head the new division. According to the group's announcement, the strategic move is designed to deepen coverage in economics, business, and capital markets, while expanding content offerings for readers. The division will focus on government economic decisions, major corporate developments, international market trends, and their practical implications for the Israeli public.
The initiative involves broadening economic reporting through breaking news, expert commentaries, market analyses, and in-depth content. Beyond financial markets, the division will examine how economic policies affect businesses, employees, and households across the USA and Israel, aiming to reach a broader audience beyond professional investors and business leaders.
Editor-in-Chief Omer Lachmanovitch emphasized the vital importance of economic journalism in shaping public discourse, stating that the new division aims to provide professional and independent coverage. CEO Amir Finkelstein described the launch as a key part of the group's expansion strategy and an investment in dedicated journalistic infrastructure.
