Globes (Hebrew: גלובס) is a Hebrew-language daily evening financial newspaper founded in the early 1980s and published in Israel. It deals with economic issues and news from the Israeli and international business worlds, and is the oldest financial newspaper in Israel. The color of the paper is pink, inspired by the British Financial Times.
According to TGI 2009 media survey Globes′ market share rose 15% over the year to 4.4%.[1] Its main competitors in printed media are TheMarker of the Haaretz group and Calcalist published by Yedioth Ahronoth Group. Since 1997 Globes has an online version.
History
The daily paper founded by Haim Bar-On, the publisher of the newspaper, on the basis of a small, Haifa-based financial newspaper, in partnership with businessman Eliezer Fishman. Fishman in recent years also bought a stake in Yedioth Ahronoth.
Following the success of Globes, it had a competitor in the form of Telegraph, which had a lower subscription price and was also printed on Saturday. Telegraph was closed after several years. A few years later, the Schocken Media Network published TheMarker economic newspaper as a competitor to Globes.
The chief editor of Globes is Haggai Golan (who was preceded by Matti Golan and Adam Baruch). Among the regular contributors to the newspaper are Yoav Karni, Eli Tsipori, Matti Golan, Stella Korin-Lieber, Joshua Simon and Dror Foer.

Since 1997, the paper also runs a news site. Globes was one of the first Israeli dailies to publish its contents on the World Wide Web. Globes has several serious competitors, including the Website of TheMarker and the financial economy website BizPortal. In the first decade of its operations Globes sold its content through selling access to its archive or through a paid subscription, but recently the strategy was modified and the information is open to the general public.
In the late 1990s Globes established a research department, a financial portal and a real-estate portal, which centralize and concentrate professional information centers and a series of paid services. The research department was established by Shavit Raz, the real-estate portal was established by the journalists and editors Moshe Lichtman and Noaa Wasserman-Amir, whereas the financial portal was coordinated by the executive in charge of capital markets, Ziv Segal.
