The editor of the main edition for the last 4 years, Nir Neuman, announced his departure. Neumann is expected to move to the Kastina production company.
News 13 is concentrating on efforts to curb the departure of journalists who received offers from i24news. Arab commentators Zvi Yehezkali and Hazi Siman Tov as well as other senior journalists such as Alon Ben David are in the crosshairs of the established channel. In an annual summary it closed 2023 with a sharp decrease of 9%. In 2023, the average of News Edition 13 was 6.7% (next to Channel 14) compared to 7.4% in 2022 (a value cut of about a tenth within a year). Even after the war, the edition returned to shuffling, and many times stars at the bottom of the viewing table in front of the editions of the competing channels 11, 12 and 14. The CEO of News 13, Or Tselkovnik, is also relatively new to the position, having joined for about a month before the outbreak of the war.
