[2] The first edition was published on Parshat Acharei Kedoshim 5748 (1988), under the name Nayes Baricht or News Report (in English).

[2] In 2011, the newspaper got involved in a controversy when Di Tzeitung digitally removed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Director for Counterterrorism for the NSC Audrey Tomason from the Situation Room, the iconic photo showing President Obama and his security team watching the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound on May 2, 2011.

[3] The newspaper subsequently apologized for altering the image in breach of the terms of its release,[3] and explained that the editor who made the change had not seen the White House conditions for publication, which stipulated that the photo "may not be manipulated in any way".

[5] The statement said that while Clinton has served "with great distinction", the newspaper does not publish images of women, as that is not "in accord with our religious beliefs".

The Washington Post subsequently issued a correction, noting that Di Tzeitung had not violated any White House copyright because the photograph was "in the public domain from the moment of inception".
