Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The 'Post' now has an advertising slogan claiming that the 'best newspaper in Israel(Where the principal language is Hebrew) is in English.' In my judgment though I do not particularly like this kind of 'fluff' their claim is true.
The 'Post 'is now edited by David Horowitz, the former editor of 'Jerusalem Report'. He has in my opinion and to my surprise done an outstanding job as editor. He has broadened and deepened the paper, introducing new writers. He has not as I thought he would, radically changed the political line of the paper so as to bring it in line with that of the former 'Jerusalem Report' or even worse 'Haaretz'.
The 'Post' has some truly outstanding writers and reporters. Judy Siegel is as fine a 'health- reporter' as I know. Arieh O'Sullivan is an excellent military correspondent. Caroline Glick is now , in my opinion, the strongest political writer on Israeli- Middle East subjects in the world. I may find her a bit gloomy at times, but she provides the information and analysis in a most forceful and convincing way. Evelyn Gordon covers judicial matters with great knowledge and insight. Barbara Sofer is one of the best columnists now writing on the broad range of issues in Israel and the Jewish world. There are many others of high quality.
Horowitz likes a divergence of views, and so brings in voices whose opinions are far indeed from mine. But there is 'balance'.
The paper has also recently greatly improved its domestic coverage.
Also I believe that its weekend Shabbat magazine has improved, especially the book- review section.
The Letters column is one of the most generous , and certainly most ably- edited. This by one of the Post's outstanding editor- writers Judy Montagu.
On the whole I would say anyone who truly cares about Jewish issues, and about Israel would do well to be a regular reader of the 'Post'.
