The Jerusalem Post is a broadsheet newspaper based in Israel, publishing only English and French editions. Its predecessor, The Palestine Post, was founded in 1932 by Gershon Agron. The name change occurred in 1950 and in 2002 the paper was bought by CanWest Global Communications, a Canadian newspaper publisher, and Mirkaei Tikshoret, a diversified Israeli media firm controlled by investor Eli Azur.
