History edit
During its existence the newspaper underwent has went through several iterrations, today Teza (Thesis) is considered a formal magazine and distributed not only on Tel Aviv university campus, but also in kiosks and stores throughout the city of Tel Aviv. It is also availabale online. Accordingly, its content has also changed, and today it focuses not only on writing and reporting on campus-related matters, but covers many of the topics of interest relating to student life. Among the prominent editors and reporters of the newspaper over the years are Nir Hefetz, Ron Levintal, Gadi Haggai, Talem Yahav, Yaron Frost, Ayala Revach, Gal Mor, Eran Avni and Yemima Evron. In 2005, the format of the magazine was updated
In 1999, the work of editor Amit Adler ceased after publishing only two issues. This was after the student union chairman struck down a theme issue titled "Sex on Campus." In Adler's place, Lior Weitz was appointed editor. Weitz himself resigned as editor in 2001 due to commercial involvement in the paper's content, according to him, after an article about the Focus Club, owned by the student union, was disqualified from publication.[2] In Weitz's place, he was appointed editor of the newspaper, journalist Yuval Yoaz, who retired after a few months, during which he edited five issues. His place was taken by Ron Levinthal, who edited the newspaper until his election as a member of the Tel Aviv City Council.
In May 2000, a police complaint was filed against the newspaper's editorial board for an article titled "Know Your Enemy, or: The Limits of Pluralism," in which repentants were compared to those who joined the Nazi party. The complaint was filed by MK Meir Frosh of the United Torah Judaism faction, claiming that the article was "an article full of hatred against the entire religious public."[3] The Attorney General decided to close the case after a public apology was published in the media and in the following issue of Teza magazine.
In 2006, the entire editorial board of 30 reporters resigned in protest of the conduct of the student union, which fired its editor, Theodora Karczewski, over disagreements over the paper's content and the publication of articles critical of the student union. As a result, N.C.S. publishing house, appointed Yael Shafrir as editor of the newspaper and recruited a new editorial board.[4][5]
Under Roy Shoshan edit
In 2012, Roy Shoshan was appointed to the position, he made substantial changes in the newspaper and the editorial staff. Among other things, the newspaper switched to a broadsheet format and the topics of coverage were replaced by investigative reports and in-depth articles that went beyond the student areas that were customary until then. Thus, for example, the social protests, the university's handling of complaints of sexual harassment, the coastal struggle, the authorities' treatment of the homeless, the phenomenon of suicides among students at Tel Aviv University, were reported and covered by Teza. In 2013, the newspaper's editorial board resigned in protest of the censorship of a critical article about the alleged improper conduct of former student union chairman Boaz Toporovsky, this was after Toporovsky threatened a libel suit, and NCS chairman Gil Goldberg, Toporowski's replacement, refused to back Shoshan.[6]
Under Zychlinski and Kertsner edit
Roni Kertsner and Shaked Zychlinski were chosen to reassemble the system. Zychlinski was appointed editor-in-chief, appointed Kerzner as his deputy, and initiated a substantial and comprehensive change in the format of the newspaper.[7] In 2014, with Zychlinski's departure, Kertsner was appointed editor-in-chief of the newspaper. In 2015, Orrin Weinberg served as the paper's editor-in-chief, and in 2016 she replaced her as Lital Licht. In 2017, Zohar Bronfman was appointed editor, alongside digital editor Dori Ben-Alon. In 2018, following Ben-Alon's appointment as editor-in-chief, she reassembled the magazine system.
