Can you get featured in The Times of Israel?
The Times of Israel publishes for a broad audience in Israel, not for one industry, which is what makes a feature there useful.
Because The Times of Israel writes for a broad readership rather than one industry, a story has to matter to people outside your field before it is considered. That bar leaves most businesses, professionals and creators out, even when the work behind them is strong. With a guaranteed placement, the outlet is confirmed first, you approve every word, and the article publishes on timesofisrael.com inside the window written into your scope, usually three to five days. It is a real article on the site that you can put in a proposal, a deck or a profile.
What The Times of Israel covers
The Times of Israel belongs to the general news category: a publication for readers in Israel that covers more than one subject area. Where a trade title speaks to insiders, a general publication speaks to everyone else. Its stories are chosen for how many people would find them interesting or useful, so subjects as different as business, culture, science, lifestyle and public life can all sit under the same masthead.
In practice, general news coverage rewards subjects that connect to everyday life. A business story works when it touches how people spend, work or live. A professional’s story works when their expertise answers a question many readers have. A creator’s or author’s story works when the idea travels beyond its original audience. The format is flexible, but the perspective is always that of an interested outsider.
Who reads The Times of Israel
A general-interest readership in Israel is broad by definition, and that is who The Times of Israel publishes for. These are readers with varied jobs, ages and interests who want a wider view than a single-subject outlet can give. Among them are the customers, clients, partners, donors and employers that most businesses and professionals are trying to reach, alongside people who simply enjoy a good story.
The practical value is reach plus proof. A story in a general publication can be read by people far outside your network, and it stays available as something you can point to afterward. Founders use it in pitch materials, professionals add it to their profiles, authors cite it to booksellers and event organizers, and nonprofits share it with supporters and funders as outside recognition of their work.
How coverage in Israel supports new relationships
A feature in The Times of Israel is seen by people who live, work and invest in Israel. For a company seeking customers or partners there, that visibility matters, because buyers tend to trust names that appear in sources they follow. It also means a search for your business in Israel can lead to a publication the reader already knows.
Coverage in Israel is commonly sought by companies in real estate, finance, hospitality, energy, technology, healthcare and luxury goods, and by founders and executives who want a visible profile there. International firms opening a regional office or seeking local investors and distributors are among the most frequent clients.
Who a Times of Israel feature is a good fit for
General news works for almost any field, provided the story has broad appeal.
Founders and business owners
Entrepreneurs with a company, product or path that a general reader can follow, from first-time founders to owners of established businesses.
Brands and consumer companies
Products and services used by the public, where the launch, the growth or the idea behind the brand is a story in itself.
Professionals and experts
Doctors, advisors, consultants, coaches and other specialists whose knowledge answers questions that many readers have, explained in plain language.
Authors, creators and nonprofits
People and organizations with a book, a body of work or a mission that deserves an audience wider than their existing following.

What makes a story pitch-ready for The Times of Israel
The Times of Israel readers come from every field, so the story must work without background knowledge.
Readiness is less about size than about clarity. A small business with a specific, true story is a stronger subject for a general news feature than a large one with nothing particular to say. What matters is that there is a real subject, a plain explanation of what makes it different and details you are comfortable seeing in public under your own name.
We start by choosing one angle from the list below and building the piece around it. If you are unsure which applies, tell us what you do and we will find the one a general reader would respond to.
What weakens a pitch
- Announcements without a story. A new website or a routine hire is news to your team, but a broad audience needs a reason to care.
- Superlatives. Calling yourself the best or the first without evidence weakens a feature, and unsupported claims are something we will not write.
- Insider framing. Angles that only matter to competitors or peers belong in a trade publication, not in front of a general readership.
- Too many messages. One clear idea told well is remembered, while five ideas squeezed into one article are forgotten by the end.
