Shai Magal will be appointed CEO of the ynet website. Magal previously served as Deputy CEO of Ynet and later as Vice CEO of Vala! He will replace the current CEO Barak Kalmanovich who will leave the group after 22 years of activity, including about 17 from the group's website.
This week it was published that four years after he returned to his position, group's CEO Zion Peretz asked to end his position - this is what senior officials in the newspaper claim. According to the executives, Peretz will leave in the coming months. The negotiations with the management of the Yediot Ahronoth Group reached an impasse three weeks ago, when the management rejected the committee's minimum demands for working conditions. The parties agreed to return to the negotiating table for a number of meetings for a period of about a month and a half, until the end of May. The management, for its part, pledged that during this period, the management would not take unilateral measures, including downsizing.
