From optimism - to survival

News figures for the 13th edition have been in moderate decline in recent months, when only about a month ago, with the one-time anchor of the Euro games next to it, the company achieved a low of 5.4%. In the other new bands as well, the situation is not alarming, and from the optimistic pursuit of equality with Keshet that accompanied the merger with Channel 10, the company has only a daily expectation that it will not be humiliated. The news company has become a heavier weight than ever on a network - first and foremost at the positional, but also at the economic level.

Of course not everything is Toito's fault. The circumstances in which he joined the company almost two years ago, with the dismissal of the previous CEO Golan Yokfaz, were not easy. His immediate task was to make a wave of cuts of about 25%, which also included parting with people. The corona was added to all of this - in many ways an opportunity for the news company - but one that was not optimally utilized online for a variety of reasons.

Lack of backup

One way or another, at the top of the network in recent weeks, the imminent departure of the CEO of the Toyota news company was treated as a fait accompli. The question, as the cliché says, was only when and under what conditions.

About a week ago, the CEO of the Avi Ben Tal network issued an unusual letter in which he wrote to the employees of the news company: I would like to make it clear that News 13 is a significant asset for the network. These are statements by stakeholders that are intended to bring about a bad atmosphere in the company and me, Network 13 and I have full confidence in News 13 and the news staff. Your daily work is a sign and a model for excellent journalistic work. The great trust we gain in the news company is reflected every day. I am writing you this message in order to remove any doubt regarding the great trust I and we have in you. "At no point in the letter did Ben Tal refer to Toyota's demand or give him personal backing in light of the publications.

Commenting on his departure, Avi Ben Tal said today: "I would like to thank Israel personally for the year and a half we have spent together since I took office and since the world changed. Israel is a first-rate professional and this is also the way he chose to end his position. Israel has success in the future and it is certain that this will be the case. "
