Israeli Paper Shuts Down Tel Aviv (JTA) — After mon- ths of rumors that it was suf- fering deep financial prob- lems, the Israeli afternoon tabloid Hadashot has folded. The daily newspaper's 40 editorial staff members and managers learned by tele- phone that they need not report for work, as the paper had just published its last issue. The paper's present losses are said to exceed $30 mill- ion. Hadashot, which means news, was established 10 years ago by the Ha'aretz publishing company, which publishes the prestigious Ha'aretz daily broadsheet newspaper and several weekly publications. The tabloid, established by publisher Amos Schocken, had been positioned to corn- pete with the popular Yediot Achronot and Mcz'ariu after- noon newspapers. But its youthful staff and dovish slant failed to attract a substantial segment of the public, and its circulation peaked at about 30,000. ❑ JORDAN GOROSH Age "Almost 4" ALEX ANDRA SIEGEL MICHIGAN'S LEADER IN MORTGAGE LENDING • Loan sizes to 1.5 million. • No-documentation loans available. •Convenient applications via lap top computer in your home office. •Special programs available for "bruised credit" applicants! • We close loans FAST! 0, Period WORLD WIDE FINANCIAL SERVICES - CALL 647-1199 555 S.
