Ha-Yom (Hebrew: היום, "The Day") was a Hebrew-language newspaper published from 1886 to mid-1888 from Saint Petersburg, Russia.
[4] Ha-Yom was characterized by a modern, Europeanized form of journalism, previously unknown in the Hebrew-language press.
[6] The launching and initial success of Ha-Yom provoked the existing Hebrew-language publications Ha-Meliz and Ha-Tsefirah to convert themselves into daily newspapers.
[7] The fact that Ha-Yom subscribed to the "Northern Company" telegraphic news agency forced Ha-Meliz to do the same.
[4] At an early stage Ha-Yom became the newspaper of choice of many followers of the Lovers of Zion movement.
