About David Horovitz

David Horovitz is the founding editor of The Times of Israel, the Jerusalem based current affairs website that has provided independent coverage of Israel, the region and the Jewish world to a a rapidly growing readership. Previously, Horovitz served as the editor-in-chief of The Jerusalem Post, Israel’s English-language daily. In his almost seven years as editor, Horovitz moved The Jerusalem Post to the heart of the Israeli- Diaspora discourse, and helped build www.jpost.com into the world’s most-read English-language Jewish news website. He used his weekly “Editor’s Notes” column to promote intra-Jewish tolerance and to repeatedly urge the Israeli leadership to devote more attention to the struggle for Israeli legitimacy on “the second battlefield” – in the media, the legal arena and diplomatic forums.

He has conducted landmark interviews with a succession of Israeli and international figures, including all of Israel’s recent prime ministers, Presidents Barack Obama (when he visited Israel as a candidate) and George Bush, as well as Tony Blair, and Vladimir Putin.

A graduate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he was profiled in the university’s 90th anniversary President’s Report as the graduate who had most impacted Israel’s reality in the field of media.
