HaZvi

HaZvi (Hebrew: הצבי, also Hatzevi and Hazewi, literally 'The Gazelle') was a Hebrew-language newspaper published in Jerusalem from 1884 to 1914 by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, a pioneer of the revival of Hebrew as a spoken tongue.

[2] HaZvi revolutionized Hebrew newspaper publishing in Jerusalem by introducing secular issues and techniques of modern journalism, especially after Itamar Ben-Avi, Ben-Yehuda's son, joined the paper.

Influenced by the French press, Ben-Avi brought in sensational headlines and a style of reporting that differed from newspapers of the old school.

[3] In 1908, the name of the paper was changed to HaOr (האור 'The Light') due to licensing restrictions.

[3] The paper was banned by the Ottoman government during the First World War due to its proposals for a Jewish homeland.
