There is no single headline that defines 2018.
We live in an age in which the news is more accessible than ever before. A kid with a computer could become a journalist almost overnight. But, our writers at The Jerusalem Post strive to be the masters of their ‘beats” - tackling stories from all angles and in depth.
We asked some of our reporters to weigh in on the 100 “high”-lights and “low”-lights of 2018.
These are the headlines - unranked - that brought joy, excitement and positive change to Israel and the Jewish people. They are the stories that caused pain, suffering and served as a mirror to the challenges of Israeli society.
They provide a cross section of stories that commanded the front pages of our newspaper, your inboxes and social networks, from the political to the cultural and everything in between.
