Makor Rishon ("primary source") is an Israeli daily newspaper, identified with conservative national and religious values.
After a financial collapse, the paper was resurrected in 1999 and an effort was made to obtain financial stability and an increase in readership. The paper was published in tabloid format with two section inserts, one for political analysis and one for features.
The editor-in-chief is Amnon Lord, an experienced Israeli journalist and writer, who started his career in the left-wing Peace Now, editing the now defunct weekly Koteret Rashit which expressed the movement's opinions, and changed his views following the Oslo Accords. In Lord's editorials and op-ed articles, there are still frequent expressions of support for Netanyahu, evident especially during and following the 2006 elections.
Makor Rishon is published in Tel Aviv and most of its readersip is based on paying subscribers. In an effort to get to wider audiences, the culture supplement - where the political positions are far less evident and outspoken than in the other parts - was distributed free in large quantitites during the year 2005.
In late 2003, Shlomo Ben-Tzvi purchased the newspaper through his company Hirsch Media. In 2005 He launched the new format of Makor Rishon: a broadsheet news section, and seven weekly supplements including a political features section, a magazine, an economics supplement and a sports one, a children magazine, and a large high-browed section for culture, literature and Jewish scholarship. On April 25 2007, Makor Rishon started to publishing daily. At the same time, HaTzofe (also owned by Hirsch Media) stopped publishing its daily edition, instead becoming a weekly religious insert in Makor Rishon.
