Maariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב, lit. Evening) is a nationalHebrew-language daily newspaper published in Israel. It is second in sales after Yedioth Ahronoth and third in readership after Israel HaYom and Yedioth Ahronoth'.
From Sunday to Thursday the newspaper is printed under the Ma'ariv Hashavu'a (מעריב השבוע) brand, while the weekend edition that is out on Friday is printed under the Ma'ariv SofHashavu'a (מעריב סופהשבוע) brand.
Since May 2014, Maariv's co-editors in chief are Doron Cohen and Golan Bar-Yosef. Apart from the daily newspaper and its supplements, Maariv has a chain of local newspapers with a national scale distribution and magazines division.
Maariv was founded in 1948 by former Yediot Aharonot journalists led by Dr. Ezriel Carlebach, who became Maariv's first editor-in-chief. It was the most widely read newspaper in Israel in its first twenty years.
For many years, the Nimrodi family held a controlling stake in Maariv, and Yaakov Nimrodi served as its chairman. In March 2010, Zaki Rakib bought a 50% share from Israel Land Development Company and Ofer Nimrodi, bringing new energy and a much needed cash infusion to the newspaper, which had been losing millions of NIS a year since 2004. Rakib became the new chairman.
