Haynt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Haynt (Yidishes tageblat 1906-08) was a Yiddish daily newspaper, published in Warsaw from 1906 till 1939.

Newspaper Yidishes tageblat was founded in 1906 by Zionist Shmuel Yankev Yatskan, a former contributor to the Hebrew language paper Ha-Tsefirah. In 1908 Yidishes tageblat changed its name to Haynt and quickly established itself as the premier Yiddish newspaper in the Congress Poland [1]. Practice of reprinting Yiddish fiction in serialized form, helped Haynt set new circulation records for Yiddish journalism. By 1913 newspaper reached circulation of more than 150,000 [2].

From 1908 till 1932 Haynt was a private company. In 1932 a cooperative called Alt-Nay was formed by the staff, who administred newspaper ever since [3].
