Maariv (Hebrew: מַעֲרִיב, lit. Evening) is a popular daily Hebrew language middle market newspaper in Israel. It is the 2nd largest circulation daily in Israel.
The Nimrodi family holds controlling stake in Maariv, and Yaakov Nimrodi serves as its chairman. Maariv's editors in chief are Doron Galezer and Ruth Yuval, succeeding Amnon Dankner.
Maariv's coverage of events and editorial opinions are considered 'middle of the road', giving a balanced representation of the diverse views that abound in the Israeli society. Maariv's journalists and guest writers from the different sides of the political and social spectrum express their opinions side-by-side.
Maariv operates a semi-independent Hebrew website called Nrg.
