Yotam Zimri lands a surprising job: The new media venture of the Channel 14 presenter
The Shabbat bulletin "Olam Katan" is leveling up, launching as a comprehensive weekly newspaper of over 80 pages with new contributors, including Channel 14 presenter Yotam Zimri.
After years of establishing itself as one of the most recognizable and widely read Shabbat bulletins within the religious-Zionist public, "Olam Katan" is leveling up with a new format: starting this week, it will be distributed as a broad, high-quality weekly newspaper spanning over 80 pages.
The move includes a significant expansion of content, an increased team of writers, a fresh design, a new logo, and a wider distribution network across the country. The new newspaper will offer diverse weekly content, ranging from news and current affairs to commentary, personal columns, Judaism, society, and culture.
Alongside the familiar voices of "Olam Katan," new contributors are joining the publication, bringing diverse perspectives on issues that matter to the religious public and Israeli society at large. The new lineup includes Rabbi Beni Tavdi, Yaakov Elitzur, Noga Arbel, Hana Cohen-Eloro, Shlomo Filber, David Peter, and Yotam Zimri.
As part of this renewal, "Olam Katan" is undergoing a significant visual transformation, transitioning from a traditional Shabbat bulletin structure into a full-fledged weekly journalistic product. Distribution will also be expanded significantly; beyond the traditional synagogue handouts, new distribution points will be added nationwide to reach a broader audience.
This transition is part of a wider growth strategy for "Olam Katan," which aims to deepen its impact as a leading media outlet for the religious-Zionist public. Recently, the brand also expanded into the digital space, establishing a news site and social media channels that reach millions of views monthly.
"We wanted to give our readers a worthy and high-quality newspaper — one that is pleasant to open at the end of the week and offers valuable content on every page. The transition to more than 80 pages is part of a broader move of growth as a leading media group, driven by a desire to renew, deepen, and bring the public a more elaborate and complete product. Olam Katan. Now in a big way," the publication stated.
