Maariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב, transl. evening[1]) is a popular daily Hebrew language tabloid newspaper in Israel.
The Nimrodi family holds controlling stake in Maariv, and Yaakov Nimrodi serves as its chairman. Maariv's chief editor is Amnon Dankner.
It is considered to be giving a comparatively fair coverage of the diverse views that abound in the Israeli society, by allowing journalists and guest writers from the different sides of the political and social spectrum to express the opinions side-by-side; however, on the whole, it represents mostly the secular centrists and moderate left-wingers, as these are the expressed views of its most senior writers - Amnon Dankner and Dan Margalit.[citation needed]
Maariv operates a semi-independent Hebrew website called Nrg.
