As a little preview to Wednesday’s Israel Seminar, we had a guest speaker, Dr. Paul Frosh from the Department of Communications at Hebrew University. Paul spoke about the changing nature of Israel’s media.

Here are the Top 5 Interesting Points of Information From the Evening:

1. Televisions were not introduced to Israel until 1968

2. Up until 1968 radio was the main form of media and was expressly designed for nation-building

3. The main radio station was owned by the government and run out of the Prime Minister’s office

4. Dave came in through the window

5. The #1 television show in Israel is “Monit HaKesef” (literally means “the taxi of money”, Israel’s version of Cash Cab)
