"Iton Meyuchad" (Special Newspaper). Publisher and editor: Alexander Zauber. 80 issues. Tel-Aviv, 1934-1938 (one issue from 1940). Hebrew.
Large collection of issues of "Iton Meyuchad", covering crime, the personal lives of well-known personalities and scandals in Tel-Aviv of the 1930s. Accompanied by numerous pictures.
The tabloid "Iton Meyuchad" was published during the years 1933-1952. It was written, edited and published by Alexander Zauber (1903-1961) and stood out for its sensational articles, the first of their kind in Palestine. The front pages displayed flashy headlines ("Gangsters in Tel-Aviv"; "From the Secrets of the House on Bialik Street"; "The Double Life of the Gentleman-Thief"; "The Dictator Stalin – a Landlord in Tel-Aviv"); the name "Iton Meyuchad" was printed in cursive Hebrew, with a half-grush (5 mils) coin – the price of the issue, threaded on the letter "ע". After the newspaper ceased publication, Zauber joined the editorial staff of Yedioth Aharonot and established its "7 Yamim" supplement.
