Journalist Simmy Spolter to Edit New Ultra-Orthodox Media Venture
Former TheMarker journalist Simmy Spolter is reportedly set to edit a new ultra-Orthodox print and digital media outlet, following a five-year tenure in mainstream economic reporting.
Journalist Simmy Spolter is set to embark on a new chapter in his media career just days after parting ways with the economic newspaper TheMarker. According to media reports, Spolter is expected to be appointed as the editor-in-chief of a new ultra-Orthodox media outlet, which will launch both a print edition and a news website.
The upcoming venture is slated to feature several prominent ultra-Orthodox journalists, including Avi Muskof from the Kol Barama radio station. While the exact launch date and the name of the new publication remain under wraps, further staff announcements are expected soon.
Spolter recently concluded a five-year tenure at TheMarker, during which he published 1,275 articles covering high-tech, economy, and social affairs, alongside investigative pieces focusing on financial fraud within the ultra-Orthodox community.
Reflecting on his departure, Spolter expressed gratitude to his former colleagues and hinted at his future professional endeavors, making it clear that he intended to remain active in journalism.
Spolter previously made headlines following a public social media exchange with prominent political commentator Amit Segal over media coverage concerning US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Now, Spolter transitions from mainstream financial reporting to leading a new venture in the ultra-Orthodox media sector.
