The editor-in-chief of Yedioth Ahronoth Avi Meshulam wants to bring his former deputy from Tel Aviv Radio Roi Katz to the group - this is how Wala found out!
Barangay.
Katz served for a decade as the VP of content for Radio Tel Aviv under Meshulam. In addition, he presents the economic segments on the Knesset channel (Haydd). In between, he also lectures in journalism and radio at Reichman University.
If the negotiations with Katz help, he will serve as an editor on of the group's economy division and to cover the transportation, digital and economic issues of the newspaper and the ynet website, alongside the Calcalist newspaper, which will continue to form the core of the group's economic coverage.
The appointment comes against the background of the consolidation of the systems between Yediot Ahronoth newspaper and the Ynet website, which is led by Mosholam, a move that includes the dismissal of dozens of employees and a month-long protest at the company.
In the shadow of the move, the current economic editor of the ynet website, Tzachi Sade, resigned from the group.
As part of the unification of the systems, ynet editor Guido Ran recently became the news editor of the Yedioth Group and Jordan Bitran was appointed to the position of head of the news department under him.
At the same time, the editor of the "7 Nights" supplement Daphne Lisbona was appointed to the position of head of the group's culture and entertainment division.

In the shadow of the recruitment, the picture of the cuts in Yediot Aharonot is also becoming clearer:
about a month ago it was announced that the old health magazine "Menta" was going to close, and follow the path of the other magazines of the group.
Let's recall:
in recent years, close to ten magazines that were owned by the group have been closed one after the other, including the men's magazine "Blazer", the youth weekly "Rosh Ehad" which operated for about 30 years, and the entertainment weekly "Panai Plus".
Also the group's radio venture "Radio Ynet", whose intention to close was previously reported extensively in Vala!
Barangay, will officially close its doors as part of the cut.
Later it will be revealed in Vala!
Branch that the management of Yedioth Ahronoth also wants to fire about a third of the workforce in the local network "Yediot Communication", this is in addition to the dozens of employees who are expected to receive summonses for a hearing from the ranks of the parent newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth and the Ynet website.
Following the management's decision, a labor dispute was announced on the network.
This means that even today the employees can take organizational measures, if the negotiations that are expected to take place with the company's management do not succeed.
