About The Times of Israel
The Times of Israel is an English-language online news site based in Jerusalem, founded by the journalist David Horovitz. It covers Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, and hosts a large blogs platform for outside contributors.
Why a feature here matters
The Times of Israel is widely read in Israel and by Jewish communities and Israel watchers abroad, so a feature there reaches investors, partners and readers who follow Israeli business, technology and society closely.
Best for: Israeli founders and technology companies, investors in Israel, Jewish community organisations, academics and policy experts on the region, and businesses serving Israeli or diaspora audiences.
How coverage happens at The Times of Israel
There are two ways in. You can approach The Times of Israel yourself: send news to the newsroom through the contact details on its site, or apply to write on its blogs platform, where approved contributors publish posts under their own names. That route is free, but it is slow, and newsroom coverage is the editor's decision. The second way is to work with DNA. We develop the angle with you, write the feature to the publication's standard, and manage the placement. You approve every word before it goes live, so nothing appears about you or your organisation that you have not signed off.
The kind of story that lands
The Times of Israel serves readers who want to understand Israel in depth, so a feature fits when it has a real Israeli or Jewish-world angle. Its business and technology coverage suits founders and investors with something specific to say about Israel's start-up sector, from a product built in Tel Aviv to a partnership with a company abroad. Community organisations, educators and cultural institutions in Israel or the diaspora have natural stories too, as do experts on health, science or the economy. Strong pieces are factual, specific and clear about why readers should care now. Promotional copy, or commentary with no connection to Israel or the Jewish world, does not fit.
How to Get Featured in The Times of Israel
To get featured in The Times of Israel, you either give its newsroom a story it wants to report, contribute through its blogs platform as an approved writer, or have a feature developed and placed with professional help. Most people searching for how to submit an article to The Times of Israel are looking for the blogs platform, which is separate from the newsroom's reporting.
The do-it-yourself routes are free, but what the newsroom covers is its own call, and blog posts sit apart from its journalism. DNA offers another way in: we develop the story with you, write it to the publication's standard, manage the placement, and you approve every word before it goes live.
What The Times of Israel is
The Times of Israel is an English-language online news site based in Jerusalem. It was founded by David Horovitz, a veteran Israeli journalist and former editor of The Jerusalem Post, and has become one of the most widely read English-language sources of news about Israel. It also publishes editions in other languages, including French and Arabic, and is read by Israelis, by Jewish communities around the world and by anyone following the region closely.
What The Times of Israel covers
Coverage spans Israeli news and politics, security and defence, the wider Middle East, the Jewish world and diaspora communities, business and technology, and culture and life in Israel. A live blog follows breaking news through the day, and the reporting is complemented by analysis and opinion. Technology and start-up coverage is a significant strand, reflecting the place of the tech sector in the Israeli economy.
How to get featured in The Times of Israel
For news coverage, the route is the newsroom. Identify the reporter or desk that covers your subject, read what they have published, and send a short, factual note with what has happened, who is involved and why it matters to readers following Israel. The site lists contact details for the newsroom on its contact page. A funding round for an Israeli company, a research result from an Israeli university, or a community initiative with wider significance may all interest the desk. A generic product announcement will not.
How to submit an article to The Times of Israel
The answer depends on what you want to publish. The newsroom reports and writes its own stories, so if you have news, you pitch it rather than sending a finished article. If you want to publish your own views in your own words, the blogs platform is the route most people searching for this mean. In general terms:
- Decide first whether you have news to report or a view to share.
- For news, pitch the reporter or desk that covers the subject.
- For opinion, apply to the blogs platform through the route the site lists.
- Keep any pitch short, factual and specific to Israel or the Jewish world.
How The Times of Israel blogs platform works
The Times of Israel hosts a large blogs platform where outside contributors publish their own posts. Writers apply through the route on the site, and once approved they publish under their own names on a wide range of subjects, from politics and religion to business and personal reflection. Posts carry the author's own views, sit separately from the newsroom's reporting, and must follow the platform's rules. The platform suits people who want to write regularly in their own voice. It is not the same as being covered by the newsroom.
What makes a strong piece for The Times of Israel
The strongest pieces have a clear connection to Israel or the Jewish world and something concrete to report: a product, a research finding, a partnership, a community project or an expert view on a live question. Specific names, places and outcomes matter more than adjectives, and given the subject matter, accuracy and care with tone are essential. For a story about Israeli technology aimed at an international business audience, a feature in Business Insider may also suit it.
How the process works
With DNA, the work runs in four steps. We check whether your story has a genuine Israeli or Jewish-world angle and tell you plainly if it does not. You share the substance: the facts, the people and what has changed. We draft the feature to the publication's standard and revise it with you. Once you approve every word, we manage the placement and send you the live link.
How long it takes
Expect weeks rather than days for a feature, allowing time to agree the angle, draft and revise it, complete your review and manage the placement. Pitches you send to the newsroom yourself depend on the news agenda, which in this region can change quickly.

Questions about The Times of Israel
Is the The Times of Israel coverage a real, published feature?
Yes. It is a genuine article published on the outlet, written about you and your work — not an ad you design yourself.
How long does it take?
Most placements take weeks rather than days. We give you a realistic timeline for The Times of Israel before we start, and never promise a date we cannot control.
What if I am not happy with the draft?
You review and revise until it is right. Nothing publishes without your approval.
How do I submit an article to The Times of Israel?
If you have news, pitch the newsroom through the contact details on its site. If you want to publish your own opinion pieces, apply to its blogs platform through the route the site lists. Approved bloggers publish under their own names.
Can anyone write for The Times of Israel blogs?
Anyone can apply, but writers need to be approved before they can publish, and the platform's rules apply. A blog post is the writer's own view and is separate from the newsroom's reporting.
Is a blog post the same as being featured in The Times of Israel?
No. A blog post appears on the blogs platform under your name, and news reporting is the newsroom's own work. A feature developed with DNA is written to the publication's standard and approved by you before it goes live.
